TEBAY 10B - St James Church
St. James Church, Tebay in Cumbria.
Sometimes known as the Railway Church because it was mainly funded by the London and North Western Railway Company for the benefit of railway workers. Consecrated in 1880, the interior is built with railway bricks and the pews resemble the seats in a railway waiting room.

TEBAY 11A - The 'Railway Church'
St. James' Church, Tebay in Cumbria.
The coming of the railway through Tebay and an influx of railway workers led to a population explosion for the small village and the need for its own church. This 'Railway Church' was built in 1880 by C.J. Ferguson, and paid for by the London & North Western Railway Company. The two-tone brick schema in the church copied many of L&NWR’s railway stations and the benches are replicas of the L&NWR’s station benches.

TEBAY 20A - Castle Howe Motte and Bailey Castle
Castle Howe, Tebay, Cumbria.
Earthwork remains of a medieval wooden motte and bailey castle occupying a long oval hillock of about one and three quarter acres. The motte rises almost 3 metres above the bailey. The keep would have stood on the motte and the lower and larger bailey would have had a fenced courtyard for living accommodation and possibly an area for livestock. Hungry Swaledale sheep followed me around waiting for food!
