Chapel (ruins), Wythop, Church of England

It may have been built originally in the 14th century, but certainly in the reign of Queen Mary (1553-58) . It closed and was pulled down in 1865. In August each year an open air service is held near the ruins of the old chapel.

Faculty for demolition, 1865 when the new St Margaret's was being built. Cumbria Archive Service appears to have no burial register coverage before this. Wythop was formerly in Lorton Parish, and this was a chapel of ease.
