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."

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. |
