About this site
Welcome to this 'plain
vanilla' website for St. Martin's Church,
Bowness-on-Windermere. We hope it will meet your needs for
information about the church.
From
the Rector:
"I
say Morning Prayer in church on most weekday mornings at
9.15 am (details on each week’s “Keep
in Touch” sheet). You are very welcome to join me at
church. If you can't join me in person, but would like to
pray with the wider church, why not use the Church of
England's daily prayer feed see below left."
James
Richards
The
Lord's Prayer
We
are currently looking at the Lord's Prayer on Sunday
mornings (29th May to 10th July). More information about
his can be found on a separate
page
Visiting
St. Martin's
Once
again our wonderful team of volunteer welcomers are on duty
for our 'open' season. We aim to keep our church building
open to visitors seven days a week between 10.30 a.m. and
3.30 p.m. from Sunday 20th March to the end of September.
You will be very welcome. See more below about visiting St.
Martin's
St.
Martin's is fortunate to have in its East Window what an
expert has described as 'the finest collection of medieval
glass in the North-West of England'. We also have a unique
'Arts and Crafts' inspired decorative scheme from the 1870
restoration by Henry Hughes of the renowned stained glass
makers, Ward
and Hughes of Frith Street, London. Henry Hughes also
carried out a very sensitive restoration of the East Window.
For more information follow the Our Building link on the
left.
On your visit to the Lakes why not spend half an hour enjoying the peace and beauty of this ancient building as part of your visit to our community.
The churchyard is always open to visitors and includes the listed gravestone of Rasselas Belfield (at the east end of the church) which is one of English Heritage's Sites of Memory. Ironically a tombstone at the West end of the church commemorates John Bolton the owner of Storrs Hall and a local benefactor much of whose wealth was founded on the "triangular trade".

We are also on the Blackwell Arts & Crafts trail. |
