Subject: RE: BS: Church V State
The lake district churches and chapels always amaze me. From the magnificence of Cartmel Priory right to tiny church of St Olaf in Wasdale. I am never sure which I like best. Usually depends which I am in at the time :-)

One a bit nearer home for me (about 40 minutes drive - about 5 minutes past the Station, Raggy) is St Leonards in Chapel-le-Dale. A beautiful little church with a stunning view of Ingleborough from the front porch. It also now contains a memorial to the many men women and children who lost their lives building the Settle to Carlisle railway and were buried in unmarked graves at St Leonards. Very poignant.

Anyone know why it would be listed in a Cumbria tourist site? As far as I know it has always been in Yorkshire but with, I think, a Lancaster postcode!
