WREAY Of LIGHT in CUMBRIA? | St Marys Church, Wreay | Sarah Losh | English Churches | Historical

St Mary's Church in Wreay is a magnificent tribute to the imaginative creativity of Sarah Losh, who - 30 years before the Arts & Craft movement - envisioned this beautiful church restoration. The church is full of wonderful artefacts, from a Gaude like Pulpit and Pompeian Lamps - the list goes on! Sit back and enjoy my exploration of this church, which is close to Carlisle, Cumbria, England.

What a beautiful and well cared for church..The flowers are gorgeous too

[@HimInChurch]

Yes, isn't it

[@FelixSunMusic]

Helloooooo! That is a lovely church. I would have been gobsmacked too! I could hear ethereal music in my head as the light came in thanks to your wife opening the hidden door feature ✨

[@HimInChurch]

Hee hee.. hello Felix! You joined on a good un! Yes, that door opening (from my beautiful assistant) was a bit special 🤗

I love the basilica floorplan. I've seen many of these churches in small towns in Italy and I'm always struck by their simple dignity. Clearly the patroness was a lady of taste.

[@HimInChurch]

Yes, I agree. I think it's magnificent and was so glad I stopped by to see it.

Hi Daphne. I just thought I'd give you a heads up that another Basilica type church is going online on my TH-cam channel on 29th June 2024 (noon UK time) - it's a pretty special one too, from the 7th century! You might want to put it in your diary?

Where are the gravestones?

[@HimInChurch]

My wife did take some pictures of the gravestones - which are quite interesting. However, I'd already printed the video by the time I realised she'd got them, and it would have been too much more work to include them. It took me hours just editing what you can see! Best wishes
