ABSTRACT
Though the vale of Keswick owes little of its beauty to any work of man, the position of its Church is singularly fortunate.

CROSTHWAITE CHURCH] there are few in these northern counties which equal it, and none perhaps in any part of the kingdom which forms a finer object from the surrounding country.
