Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Saint Cuthbert's Church, Bewcastle. Bewcastle Web Site: There have been suggestions, based on the sun-dial on Bewcastle Cross, that there may have been a monastic cell in the remains of the Roman fort.
The earliest recorded church dates from 1277, though only the east end remains. Building material was taken directly from the roman fort remains. The present church was rebuilt in 1792, and past rectors have included successful reivers, clearly identifying closely with their flock. Legend has it that only women were buried in Bewcastle - the men were hanged in Carlisle! The graveyard contains many interesting illustrations and the names of the more notable border reivers clans - Armstrong, Elliott, Nixon & Routledge, the oldest surviving dating from 1698. A full survey of the inscriptions is published on this website. The Bewcastle Cross is preserved in its original position, with a replica in the museum at Tulley House, Carlisle. A small museum is on the south side. The church was altered to its present form in 1901, and a millennium/centenary window added in 2001. Local guides, postcards and souvenirs are available inside the church. Saint Cuthbert's continues to bring parishioners and visitors together in worship, and the monthly newsletter contains times of the services |
