St Mary's
‘Sharing God’s love with those around us.’
St Mary's Church stands at the heart of the village and community of Wreay in north Cumberland. It was designed and funded by a local landowner, Sarah Losh, in 1842 and is based on the basilica churches that she had seen in northern Italy. It is a unique building of national importance and welcomes visitors every day from across the country and abroad as well as providing a peaceful focus for the local community. It is open to all from 10am to 4pm every day.
There are services every Sunday at 11am when you will be welcomed warmly. The exceptional quality and special atmosphere of St Mary's attracts a congregation that have an enquiring and open mind, always ready to learn and explore God's message.

All Saints Church
Raughton Head was formally a Chapel of Ease, in the Parish of Castle Sowerby.
Tradition says that it was thatched with fern. After lying in ruins, the chapel was rebuilt and consecrated on the 21st July 1678, by Bishop Rainbow.
In 1760 the Chapel was restored at a cost of £300. The pews were placed lengthwise and a gallery was erected at the west end.
In 1881 it was again restored, this time at a cost of £700. The gallery was removed and the tower built. The pews were altered to their present position and an organ installed.
The lychgate was erected in 1894 and repaired in 1999 at a cost of £4,000.
The screen was erected in 1912. On All Saints’ Day 1936, the church (which previously had no name) was dedicated to All Saints by Bishop Williams.
