Looking back through files I came across our visit to Boot. My sister in law booked a 100 year old farmhouse for the family to spend the weekend to celebrate her 80th birthday. The weather wasn’t too kind the first day, with cloudy skies and rain.
A church has been on the site since the 6th century. St.Catherine’s church dates from the 14th century, with later alterations and additions. It was restored in 1881 by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin. They reseated the church, increasing its accommodation to 126, and added a vestry, at a cost of £750 (equivalent to £69,000 in 2016).
The next day we visited the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway Station, a 15” minimum gauge Heritage Railway. Will post these later.
