Guides Tours of St Michael's Bowness-on-Solway

Of special interest is the beautifully carved Norman font and an excellent collection of 20th century stained glass windows.
The Millennium Banner reflects life today on the Solway, as does the fine collection of embroidered kneelers which are displayed. They are very colourful and many are unique, showing local scenes.
Its 17th century bells, which can be seen in the church, have a fascinating history relating to the violent times of the Border reivers.
In the churchyard there is an 18th century sundial, a smuggler's grave and a hearse house.
