The chancel window of the church contains very fine painted 

 glass from Furness Abbey or, as some say, Cartmel. The 

 tomb of Bishop Watson will be found in the churchyard,

 garden. The old-fashioned porch is there, of which this is 

 said to be the last remaining instance in the whole district, — 

 the roomy, substantial porch, with benches on each side, 

 long enough to hold a little company of parishioners, and 

 a round ivy-clad chimney immediately surmounting the porch. 

 Within, there is abundant space, with little elevation ; plenty 

 of room in the hall and parlours, with ceilings that one can
