Built on an imposing site overlooking the village of Ainstable, the current Church of St Michael & All Angels dates from 1872. It replaced a late 18th Century Church, which itself was built on a site of worship dating back to Norman times. The Church is open daily (closed from 16.00), a Guide Book is available and donations are welcome. There are many imposing internal features including Victorian stained glass and an 1888 installed rood screen. This will be covered in a future visit. More information on the Church can be found on the Diocese of Carlisle web site at: http://www.carlislediocese.org.uk/church/ainstable-st-michael-all-angels.html The Church is Grade II listed.
