Beetham Church

Having featured the village of Bentham yesterday, today we look at the Church. A delightful path to reach the Church. 
St Michael's Church is an English Heritage Grade 1 listed building. The lower part of the tower can be traced back to Anglo-Saxon days, with other parts of the building dating from 1200 and the 13th century.


There are a few carvings and figures adorning the outside walls of the Church.
The plaque states that remains of the Hadwen family from the 1770s were buried nearby.

There are some fine stained glass windows.
