Well kept, very large church in the centre of Penrith. Open during the day. There is a gallery all around which is accessible very wide stairs although the entry doors were locked when we visited. Many interesting features. Not many gravestones and few easily readable.

This small square in Penrith is an oasis of calm. The churchyard boasts a delightful array of mature trees, is sensitivity maintained, and has a palpable sense of community. The church may be typical of many market towns, but the welcome here is warm and feels genuine.
