Low Moor, Carlisle

Chapel Finian

Uploader's Comments

This small chapel was named after Findbar, an Irish saint and was probably built in the 10th or 11th century. It comprises a single, rectangular room entered from a door in the south wall. A perimeter wall surrounds the site which was characteristic of early Christian churches. Within the wall was probably a wooden house for the priest, a burial ground and a well, which still survives.
