Kirkoswald, Old Parish Church and Burial-ground NS 238 075 NS20NW 2
This church is on record in the early 13th century although the present ruinous building appears to be largely of post-Reformation date and the doorway and most of the windows are 19th-century restorations. It was replaced by a new church (150m to the SSE) in 1777.
