Looking up or looking down? 👀

The tower steps are exceptionally steep. If you’re not keen on tight spaces or heights perhaps give a miss to negotiating these!

This view is looking up the steps. Said to have been constructed like this as added protection if the church/village was under attack during cross border raids as the tower was a built as a place of refuge. Imagine ascending these in a hurry?

The tower steps and upper levels are sadly not accessible to all and you can perhaps see why!

Today we celebrate Pentecost which is 50 days since Easter. Pentecost is also considered by many as the Birthday of the Church!

Did you know?

The old parish of Brigham covered quite a large area. From Honister and Buttermere to the middle of Bassenthwaite Lake and Isel Bridge, Nepgill, Greysouthen, Lorton, Cockermouth and out to Eaglesfield, Mosser and Bramley.

The parish included a number a churches that exist today as parishes in their own right. Some of these churches and parishes today are part of the Grasmoor Mission Community.

How about this for a postcard?

This “Giant” postcard depicting an 1899 view of St Bridget’s Church is almost A4 size and apparently still only cost a half-penny to send.

Notice how young the trees are

Thankfully this one wasn’t folded to fit through a tight letterbox!! 📮✉️
