From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of churches in the former South Lakeland district in Cumbria. This area is now part of the Westmorland and Furness unitary authority area.

The following civil parishes have no active churches: Angerton, Blawith and Subberthwaite, Docker, Fawcett Forest, Lambrigg, Mansriggs, Nether Staveley, Preston Richard, Sedgwick, Strickland Roger and Whinfell.

The former district has an estimated 147 churches for 104,000 inhabitants, a ratio of one church for every 707 people.

For the purposes of this map medieval is taken to be pre-1485. It is of note that Cumbria, unlike most parts of England, saw a sustained programme of church building during the 16th and 17th centuries as the more remote parts of the district were settled.
