Newton Arlosh – St John’s Church
-
Description
"Newton Arlosh, New Town on the Marsh, came into being when the nearby village of Skinburness was destroyed by the sea. A Church was built in 1303 by the Monks of Holm Cultram Abbey, nearby. After the dissolution, the church fell into a state of ruin, and stayed thus for some 250 years. In 1843, thanks to the generosity of Miss Sarah Losh (1785-1853) who designed and built St Mary’s Church in Wreay, the Church was restored and extended. She is credited with the stone ram’s head flanking the altar, and with the eagle on the eastern ridge of the roof. The lecturn with its base of bog oak, is another of her works, together with a palm tree base intended as part of the pulpit. The oldest item in the Church, is the Font, which was brought from Holm Cultram Abbey...." -
