Church of St Mary, Gilcrux, Gilcrux - Cumberland Council (UA)

St Mary's is a small Norman church with later alterations situated with a fine view across to Scotland. It is generally in good condition but cement rich pointing is trapping water within the wall fabric, endangering the roof timbers. There is also a history of movement in the porch which is being monitored.
