Old Church, Becconsall
Located down the lane to the large boatyard on the River Douglas, this simple, small brick-built church was constructed in 1764 to replace an earlier building. The interior is very plain with a small west gallery and tiny chancel. There is a vestry and a bell-cote, containing a single bell brought back when the Trust repaired the church. The font, intricately if somewhat crudely carved, was also returned having been rescued during the time that the church lay derelict and forlorn. Two pews, the pulpit, lectern, altar and panelling also survive.
