St Thomas’ Church is located in the centre of the village of Milnthorpe, overlooking the green. This stunning Victorian building was constructed in 1837 by the architecture George Webster in the plain gothic style.  

More recently, it has undergone a partial re-modelling, creating new community rooms, an expanded kitchen and toilet, and to add shower facilities. These modern facilities can be found upstairs, tucked away from the historic nave and chancel.

Milnthorpe sits between Morecambe Bay and the Lake District National Park, with easy travel links to the north and south. Take the local bus service, the 555, which departs directly outside the church, and affords scenic trips through the South and North Lakes.  

The area is full of beautiful sites to explore, both natural and man-made. There are also many public footpaths within easy striking distance of the church. 

Head west through Dallam Deer Park to the villages of Storth, Arnside, and Silverdale to enjoy Arnside Knott and the Fairy Steps.  

Visit the RSPB Leighton Moss Nature Reserve in Silverdale, home to the largest reed bed in north-west England.  

In Beetham village, guests can visit Fell End Caravan Park, which boasts a deluxe on-site leisure complex, featuring a heated indoor swimming pool and a state-of-the-art gym. 

Those who enjoy stately homes, gardens, and cafes will like to visit the Elizabethan Levens Hall and topiary gardens, open to the public daily. 

Sizergh Castle is a Medieval manor house now in the care of the National Trust, and has been the home of the Strickland family for over 700 years. 

These are just some of the many adventures to be had in and around Milnthorpe. Further information is available upon your arrival at St. Thomas’.
