St Mary’s Church

Reviewed By Bluerobin59 - Warrington, United Kingdom

Went on a visit to find family history and found so much more. This church is the best kept secret . It is cared for by a volunteer who has been doing it for fifty years . The gardens and the interior are so well looked after. The welcome was effusive and the help with local history was great. We were given books which are invaluable in looking for family history. There is a peace to the church and it’s grounds and the old graves have been looked after. The houses opposite the church are lucky to have such a view and beautiful gardens. The whole context next to the Dalton Castle is beautiful and historic and well worth a visit.

The simple tombstone of William Wadsworth and his wife Mary is located in the churchyard, making this church one of the most visited literary shrines in the world.

This was our second visit to the site, the member of staff was fantastic, was so enthusiastic and nothing was to much trouble, she was full of information and very passionate about the abbey, its history & surrounding area, this was worth our visit alone. It was very peaceful even with the restoration work that is taking place, we look forward to visiting again
