Muncaster Church

The small church, built in 1140, has some fascinating stained glass windows and is host to services and weddings to this day.

Open daily for sanctuary from the stresses of modern life. Open to all, of all religions for quiet reflection and prayer. It is not owned by the Pennington family bit is still in active use as the spiritual home of the Parish of Muncaster.

It was extensively repaired and renovated around the turn of the Millennium through a generous grant from English Heritage and the valiant fund-raising efforts of the local community. It is a grade I listed building, dating back possibly to the 12th century. It is certain people have been worshipping God here for at least 1,000 years as shown by the "Viking" cross still in the Churchyard. In fact, it is almost certainly a pagan site pre the Christian era, and people have been worshipping here for many millennia.
