St Mary's Church, Wreay is in the top 10 churches to be visited in England. The pictures don't do it justice. I will definitely revisit and spend more time in this sacred space.
Wonderful experience, beautifully maintained and presented church, which is also a worshipping community. Excellent sense of welcome, even being there alone.
