Beautiful St Peter’s Church Field Broughton
What secrets does a beautiful 19th-century church in the heart of rural Cumbria hold?
The present church of St Peter’s, Field Broughton with Lindale, stands near the site of an older chapel, also dedicated to St. Peter.
Around 1731, a sum of £50 was left by Miles Burns towards building a small chapel at Field Broughton, near Cartmel. The chapel was also used as a schoolroom.
This original church was a chapel of ease to Cartmel Priory, built in 1745.
In 1875, Field Broughton became a separate parish, but by 1880, the chapel fell into a poor state of repair and wasn’t fit for its purpose.
The current church was designed by Sharpe, Paley and Austin, who were architects from Lancaster.
They designed, expanded or restored many churches and associated buildings throughout the area.
It took 2 years to build and was opened by the Bishop of Carlisle in 1894.
