At the foot of Boroughgate in Appleby, St Lawrence’s holds the tomb of Lady Anne Clifford, the formidable 17th-century noblewoman who restored castles and churches across these dales, buried alongside her mother. Its organ is a rarity too — built in 1661 for Carlisle Cathedral and given to the church in 1683. Appleby station is only a few minutes’ walk.
