And Ponsonby Church, some interesting relics inside and a beautiful location (just ignore the big factory to the West lol 😂)

Edit: A bit of research and the old Church may be more Millom than we thought, Richard de Boyville is signing in grants in the 11th C, unclear if he was the Vicar or beneficiary but the Boyville’s were Millom, Ulpha and Kirksanton gentry for generations (must do a post on this family as have done a lot of research on the Boyvilles).

Not Millom but so worth stopping off for (9th and 11th C cross shafts). Lovely place 😊

Where were you on the 12th August 1999? (Josh don’t answer 😂)

I was on shift at Safeways and Linda let us all stand on the car park with the rest of Millom with our Sun newspaper free spectacles 😂
