St. Andrew's Church, Penrith

St Andrew's Church, Penrith in the Eden Valley, Cumbria.
The tower of St. Andrew's is all that remains of the original 13th century church. The walls are almost 2 metres thick and it would probably have been used as a fortified pele tower. Much building work was done in 1720 designed by Hawksmoor, a pupil of Sir Christopher Wren. The chandeliers in the nave recognise the bravery of the townsfolk who fought Bonnie Prince Charlie in 1745..
