St Mary's Church is in Ambleside, Cumbria, England. It was built in the 1850s to a design by George Gilbert Scott in the Gothic Revival style.[1] The building is Grade II* listed.[2] Notable features include its stone spire.[1][3]
The building is constructed of slate and sandstone.
History
The decision to build the church reflects the coming of the railway to Windermere in 1847 and the subsequent expansion of Ambleside.
Interior
There is a mural depicting rushbearing (a traditional ceremony in Ambleside which is held on the first Saturday in July). The mural was created by Gordon Ransom during the Second World War when the Royal College of Art was based in Ambleside.[2][4] The vicar of Ambleside, Henry Adamson Thompson, is depicted on the right hand side of the mural.
Burials
Burials include Annie, Sophia and Mary Louisa Armitt.[5]
