St James
The present church was built as the date cut over its door shows, in 1840. The east window was inserted in 1893 in memory of the wife of the Revd Simmonds Attlee and the window by the pulpit in 1904 in memory of the wife of the Revd A. J. Knight. In 1929-30, the sanctuary was paved with Honister slate and church was completely refurnished in oak. The priest's seat and credence table were gifts from Archbishop and Mrs. William Temple who were frequent visitors to Buttermere.
Holidaymakers and local residents alike are warmly welcomed to our regular Sunday services following different liturgies.

St Bartholomew
The early history of the Church and Parish of Loweswater is lost in antiquity. The earliest mention is about the middle of the 12th century, when Loweswater is reputed to have been the estate of Randolphus de Lindsay, who at the same time gave a church at Loweswater to the Priory of St. Bees. Monks from St Bees used to go to Loweswater to take services and the dead from Loweswater used to be carried via the 'Corpse Road' through Holmewood for burial at St. Bees. The old bell dates from 14th century, being one of the first cast in Cumberland. The Church was consecrated on 24th August, 1829 by the Right Revd John Bird Sumner, Bishop of Chester later becoming the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Holidaymakers and local residents are warmly welcomed to any of our different Sunday services and regular village get-togethers.
