St Mary Magdalene's Church, Broughton-in-Furness

The stone church features a five-bay nave, three-bay chancel, south aisle, south porch, and southwest tower with round-headed windows and bell openings.

The south doorway dates back to the Norman period in the 12th century, while major restorations were completed by Paley and Austin between 1873 and 1874.

The interior contains stained glass works from notable artists including Kempe, Shrigley and Hunt, and William Morris with designs by Burne-Jones.

The church maintains regular Sunday services at 10 AM and remains open throughout the day for visitors to explore the historical architecture.

The tower houses twelve bells, expanded from its original eight, demonstrating the evolution of the church's bell-ringing capabilities over time.
