Completed in 1854 to the designs of Sir George Gilbert Scott, this Ambleside landmark features a prominent sandstone spire and was built to accommodate up to 1,000 people. Inside, visitors can view impressive stained-glass windows, a dedicated Wordsworth chapel, and a 1944 mural depicting Rushbearing. Surrounded by well-tended grounds, the church offers a tranquil setting located conveniently close to Rothay Park and the river.
