- Blawith, Cumbria (Church of St John the Baptist)
St John the Baptist lies beside the road running to the foot of Coniston Water, beneath Lakeland fells on each side of the valley.
Built in 1862-63 to the designs of E G Paley, of local Whinstone with a slate roof, it blends in well with its surroundings; its furnishings and fittings date mostly from the same period.
Across the road are the scant remains of an earlier 16th-century church.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.
