NEWBIGGIN ON LUNE 01A - St Helen's Well
St Helens Well at Newbiggin on Lune in the Eden District of Cumbria and the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
St Helens Well (or Holy Well) was traditionally believed to be the source of the River Lune, but that is now known to be on the high slopes of Green Bell on Ravensdale Common. This natural, clear water spring provides the perfect habitat for pretty little pale blue water forget-me-nots and because of this, the newly emerged spring waters were barely visible when this photo was taken.
Behind St. Helen's Well can be seen the raised ground that was the site of the medieval St. Helen's Chapel.

St Helen's Chapel, Newbiggin on Lune in the Eden district of Cumbria and the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
The raised earthwork is the site of the medieval St Helen's Chapel which was built next to Holy Well (St Helen's Well). There are more medieval earthworks in the next field, suggesting there was an medieval village with its own chapel here.

NEWBIGGIN ON LUNE 03A - Medieval earthworks
Medieval earthworks in the field next to St. Helen's Chapel in Newbiggin on Lune in the Eden district of Cumbria and the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
The earthworks are defined by a bank and within this enclosure are believed to be the remains of a manor house or homestead. Together with the chapel, this is considered to be an early settlement that was later replaced by the later medieval village of Newbiggin-on-Lune.
Beyond the settlement lie the Howgill Fells.

RAVENSTONEDALE 01A - St Oswald's Church
St. Oswald's Church, Ravenstonedale in the Eden district of Cumbria and the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Saint Oswald’s dates mainly from the 18th century , but it was erected on the site of a former church and a few fragments of the older church were incorporated into the fabric of the building. Inside, the church St. Oswald’s follows the ‘collegiate’ plan, where the rows of pews face into the central aisle. The church has a triple deck pulpit and some fine stained glass. One of the alter windows is dedicated to Elizabeth Gaunt (nee Fothergill) from Newbiggin-on-Lune who was burnt at the stake for her faith in 1685.

RAVENSTONEDALE 05A - Gilbertine Monastic Ruins
The Gilbertine Monastic Ruins at St. Oswald's Church in Ravenstonedale in the Eden district of Cumbria and the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

This English Order was unique in that it accepted both men and women, but no nuns are thought to have been at Ravenstonedale. The building was probably destroyed in the 16th century during the dissolution of the monasteries. The ruins were excavated in 1929.
