Maryport, Cumbria (026)

Obviously, the church in Maryport is dedicated to St Derek [snigger]! No it isn't, it's another St Mary's.

The church is really big, it's the biggest building in the town, and so they use it for concerts and all sorts of other stuff. A very nice man showed me around.

It has something called a rood beam. This is a big wooden beam near the ceiling at the entrance to the chancel and has a big cross on top. Other churches have a rood screen at the entrance to the chancel.

This church also has a really nice window at the east end as you can see in this photo.
