The old St Bridget's Church, Beckermet
The old 'Low Church' of St Bridget at Beckermet in West Cumbria.
This lovely small church has Norman origins with 13th century modifications and is now rarely used for worship. Calder Abbey appropriated the Church in 1160 and at the dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th Century, the Church was granted to the Le Fleming family who had been benefactors to the Abbey in the 12th Century.
In the churchyard are two ancient crosses.
