HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, MILLOM
Picture by: Arthur Watts The Holy Trinity Church Millom, is a
late Norman design built of red sandstone. A south the isle was added in the
early 13th. Century and enlarged in the 14th century. The church had restoration
done in Victorian times, and is now a Grade 1 listed building. It has several
interesting stained glass windows one called the fish window as it resembles the
bladder of a fish. In the Huddleston chapel there is a three light window of
Gabriel, Michael and Raphael by Hugh Arnold, as a memorial to John & Jane Harker
of Salthouse Farm. The East window is “The Last Supper” by Clayton Bell. The
churchyard has several listed monuments, they include an old sundial near the
south wall of the church. A stone that lies near the north door of the church
may be the base of an ancient market cross, possibly erected when Henry І I in
1251, gave a charter to Sir John Huddleston, to hold a market in Millom every
Wednesday. There are two tombs in the Huddleston chapel, in alabaster from 1494,
it commemorates Richard Huddleston, and on it are effigy’s of him and his wife
Lady Mabel Dacre.
