St Mary's Church, Beaumont

Highlight • Historical Site

St Mary’s church was built out of stones from Hadrian’s Wall by the Normans in 1296 on the site of a turret. A notable feature of the church are two medieval grave slabs that were uncovered during restorations in the Victorian era which are built into the west wall behind the font. The church is Grade II-listed.

St Michael's Church, Burgh by Sands

Highlight • Historical Site

Originally built in the 12th century on the remains and with stones from the Roman fort of Aballava, part of Hadrian's Wall, King Edward I died near this site in 1307. His body lay in state here before being transferred to Westminster Abbey.
It is one of only three surviving fortified churches in Cumbria and has two towers:
The west tower has wrought-iron gates, arrow slits, and a crenellated roof—originally built as a shelter during border conflicts.
The east tower was later lowered and served as a schoolroom in the 18th century.
The architecture is a mix of Norman and Gothic. A decorated entrance features beakhead motifs (a rare Romanesque detail). Stained glass windows depict northern saints and King Edward I. A Roman corbel is set into the wall.
