Melbourne Parish Church: St Michael with St Mary

Melbourne Parish Church is located next to Melbourne Hall and dates back to the 12th Century, being reputedly built by the Bishop of Carlisle. It is a place of peace and tranquility with many interesting architectural features. The church is open 9am to 5pm every day and there are three services each Sunday and some mid-week services (please check the website for details). There is a fine ring of 12 bells, so do listen on a Sunday or Tuesday evening, or feel free to pop in and watch us ring. In the summer months (Easter to mid-September) there is tea and cake available on a Sunday afternoon in Church House, which is next to the church. There is no charge for anyone visiting the church, but there is a donations box if you wish to help support the maintance of this fine building.
