Thomlinson Junior School
The two-storey building on the left, Westmorland House, was originally a private residence, built around 1799 and extended in 1815. The taller building on the right was added in the late 19th century, when the Thomlinson Girls' Grammar School opened here. This merged with the nearby boys' school in the 1950s, to become the Nelson Thomlinson Grammar School. The Thomlinson Junior School moved here in 1968, after the secondary school vacated the site. For more information, see the school's website http://www.thomlinson.cumbria.sch.uk/index.php?category_id=103 .

St Mary's Church, Wigton
This church was built in 1788 on the site of a medieval church. It is Grade II* listed. An inscription in the porch states that it was built by Pattison and Holmes, joiners, and Nixons and Parkin, masons. The design is the same as St Michael's, Workington, built in 1770 and St Cuthbert's, Carlisle, built in 1778. The church was restored in 1881 by C.J. Ferguson, and the vestry on the north side was added in 1912. The short chancel has a lower roof, and a Venetian east window. The red sandstone came from Shawk Quarry. Inside there is a Tuscan and Doric columned gallery, and a ceiling with decorative oval and circular-moulded plaster panels. In the former graveyard south of the church there is a late 13C two-light window from the old church.
