Interior of St Cuthbert's Church
The nave with its small round-headed Norman windows is mainly 13th-century. The chancel is later; it and its arch ("a fine piece of Norman work" according to Arthur Mee) were restored in 1866. Remnants of a Roman altar can be seen in the church. The modern collage on the left depicts the patron St Cuthbert with his right hand uplifted in blessing.

St Cuthbert's Church of England Primary School, Great Salkeld - June 2017
Current building dates from 1867-68 and replaced an earlier school, possibly on the same site, built in 1686. Prior to 1686, classes were held in the Church tower from circa 1515 - see: Image] .
The school may have closed circa 2004, but seems to be open again.

St Cuthbert's Church
The dedication recalls that St Cuthbert's remains were brought to Great Salkeld from Lindisfarne in 880, to safeguard them from Norse raids, and it is likely that a church was built to house them. The present building dates from Norman times, as the small round-headed windows of the nave indicate, the chancel with its rectangular windows being rebuilt later and restored in 1866.
A pele tower (one of three such in Cumbria) was added at the west end around 1380 for defence against the Scots. Arthur Mee, who visited in 1937, found it "not unlike a Norman keep ... Immense for the size of the church, [with] an embattled parapet, a square turret all the way up and windows which are little more than slits."

St Cuthbert’s Church, Great Salkeld
Interesting church in this quiet village east of Penrith. It has a pele tower, which was built in 1380 and added to the existing 12th century church building. It is a fortified tower, with internal iron gates, which defend the tower and its occupants (mainly the vicar) from Scottish raiders of the time. This was border country in those days and always liable to encroachment either way.
