Hey, want to learn a Lake District history fact? Did you know you can sometimes tell where Norse people lived in the Lake District because of local place names?

Names ending in –by such as Ireby mean village. Those ending in –thwaite, like Satterthwaite, mean clearing.

Ireby Old Church is a redundant 12th century church of which only the chancel remains. It is a Grade I listed building and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. Most of the church was demolished in 1846.

Church of St James, Ireby, Cumbria yesterday. C12 origins but with so many Victorian rebuilds, there is very little C12 remaining. The 3-light east window is regarded as probably from the medieval chancel. Inside is a late C15 depressed chancel arch.

Wearing my quilted 4th Lanarkshire Rifle Volunteers corporal’s jacket, with stain on the left breast, as going-out wear, in the 80s, & racking up in a pub in Ireby, heard someone at the bar say:
"Trouble with these chaps who wear these things, they'd never think of signing-up for actual service."

St James’ Old Chancel near Ireby is all that stands of a mid 12th century church which served the community. Too remote to last despite being enlarged, it fell into disrepair and the nave was removed. The chancel was restored in the 19th century surrounded by a fascinating graveyard.

A panoramic view of (part of) my place from the top of Binsey Fell for #OnePlaceWednesday. Feels good to be back in Cumbria!

St James Church Ireby Cumbria.
Such a state of disrepair that it’s dangerous.
The font has been dumped in the graveyard. Looks like some sort of work is going on as their is a skip outside of it
I doubt it’s being renovated…..?

Fabulous evening at Globe Hall, Ireby with French Canadian band Christine Tassan & the Imposteurs. Amazing guitar, brilliant bass and lively fiddle: Django Reinhardt gypsy jazz meets swing & country, with a touch of French-Canadian vavavoom!

What kind of idiot decides to get married in March when the weather cold and wet? Well we did and almost every year we’ve gone away the same week for 30 years. It snowed on our first day of our honeymoon and one of our dogs tried to freeze to death in a big puddle.
I think we stayed here… Ireby.
