Churches in Ingleton Parish

Chapel-le-Dale: St Leonard

Oddie's Lane, Chapel-le-Dale Ingleton Carnforth
015242 41924
https://ingleboroughchurches.org.uk/chapel-le-dale

The Parish Church of St. Leonard is only 48 feet long and twenty feet wide. The number of visitors it welcomes is out of all proportion to its size. The church building is set in the Yorkshire Dales National Park and many walkers, cyclists, climbers, cavers, and passers-by call in.

Another group of people who regularly visit the church are those interested in the Settle/Carlisle Railway. Around 1870 work began on the Ribblehead viaduct and Blea Moor tunnel. Over 200 men, women, and children, from the shanty towns which sprang up, died through accident and disease. These are buried in the quiet churchyard, and plaques in the church and the churchyard commemorate them.

Visitors comment on the sense of peace and tranquility which they find in this lovely spot.

Various books about the history of the church, and its connection with the railway, are for sale within the church.

Please note that in severe weather services may be cancelled at short notice.

Ingleton: St Mary's

Main Street Ingleton Carnforth
015242 41924
https://ingleboroughchurches.org.uk/ingleton

St Mary's seeks to be a place for anyone to come and find the ways the Christian faith is good for our lives. Everyone is welcome to join us for worship, and to find out more about what goes on among the congregation.  

The Church's Mission Statement is: Loving God, following Jesus, supporting and serving one another in the community, continuing His work in the world, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Those joining us for worship comment on the friendly welcome. We have a mixture of people in the congregation, from the traditional to Charismatic/Evangelicals.

There is a varied pattern of worship, from the informal to formal services of Holy Communion.

Although the present church building dates from 1886, it is possible that a 12th century chapel stood on the site. Evidence for this is the fine, old, Norman font which dates from 1150. There is firmer evidence to suggest that a 13th century Chapel of Ease was established. The oldest remaining part of the church building is the 15th century tower of perpendicular style. In 1743 the church was rebuilt, this building itself being replaced in 1886.
