| Description: |
Set in the beautiful Duddon Valley Ulpha Church first appeared on a map in 1577. ‘Improvements’ have been made over the years but the building remains a simple place of worship with an atmosphere of peace, holiness and history and is always open to visitors. The Church is built of local stone, all but the porch & bell tower (2bells) painted white. The windows are plain glass, fragments of 17c & 18c wall markings remain as does the pre-reformation font. An ancient burial ground surrounds the church. A slate roofed lych gate marks the entrance. Wordsworth wrote of the Church, beginning
"Kirk of Ulpha to the pilgrim's eye
Is welcome as a star….”
