Town laced with history


IT would be hard to find a more suitable setting for a Victorian weekend than Kirkby Lonsdale. An an­ cient settlement, its old cobbled alleyways and byways are laced with history.


Parish Churcn are 12th century Norman.


The oldest parts of the Over the years, a weat


deal of work has been done at the church which has been restored and


added to. The outstanding a r ­


Wf ' >1 1


chitectural features are the Norman archway be­ neath the tower and, near


the west door, the six massive Norman columns.


A stroll through the


churchyard takes you to the stone gazebo which fe­ atures in Turner’s famous '1822 painting of the River Lune. Beneath the gazebo is a high-level ■ pathway giving spectacular views of the riyer and the hills beyond.


This is the prospect


known as Ruskin’s View. His description: “I do not know in all my country, still in France or Italy, a place more naturally divine.” From the pathway a set


of steps descends steeply | to the river and a track leading to Devil’s Bridge. This medieval structure


bridges the point where the river has carved a deep gorge between the high limestone rocks. Its proportions are par­


ticularly fine, with the three graceful arches spanning the sparkling waters of the Lune. Add to these attractions


dance a t 5-30 p .m . , featuring a barber’s shop choir and Morrismen, will round off the day and the weekend’s festivities.
