Beetham

At the heart of this village of grey limestone cottages and cobbled forecourts is the Church of St Michael and All Angels, approached through a pergola of rambling roses. During restoration work in the 1830s, a hoard of around 100 coins minted in Norman times was discovered inside the building at the base of a pillar. Although badly damaged during the Civil War, when its windows were smashed and effigies broken, a glass fragment depicting Henry IV in an ermine robe has survived the centuries. The village also has an unusual 19th-century Post Office with a distinctive black and white studded door.

Just outside the village stands Heron Corn Mill, a restored and working watermill with fully operational grinding machinery. A fine example of a traditional 18th-century corn mill that served the Westmorland farming area, the mill ceased trading as recently as the 1950s. Visitors to the mill can see an exhibition about its history and view the milling process. Also within the mill is the Museum of Paper Making, which was established in 1988 to commemorate 500 years of paper-making in England. The displays illustrate paper-making ancient and modern by various means, and there are occasional demonstrations of making paper by hand.
