| St Peter’s at Finsthwaite was founded in 1724 and was originally in the parish of Hawkshead. The church you see today, however, was built in 1873-4, and belongs to the Leven Valley parish. One of the graves in the graveyard at the church belongs to the Finsthwaite Princess who is believed to be the daughter of Prince Charles Edward, the Young Pretender. The church is located at grid reference SD 369878. If you head just north of here, you can join a footpath that takes you up to High Dam, popular with walkers. |
