Bassenthwaite / Keswick; England.The present building dates from pre-Norman times; and stands by a busy stream in the grounds of Mirehouse by Bassenthwaite Lake. The font is dated about 1300 and has an octagonal lead-lined bowl. The 14th century lead crucifix hanging over the pulpit is similar to one in St. Albans Cathedral. There is a wrought iron hourglass used to time sermons. Historical families of the area including the Speddings of Mirehouse are remembered in various tablets and windows.. The crucufix which hangs over the pulpit is a replica of a lead crucufix which was discovered in 1874; hidden in the church. The original; now kept safely in the Treasury at Carlisle Cathedral; may date from the 14th century
