Saint Kentigern's, Crosthwaite Parish Church, Keswick, Cumbria, England

 St. Kentigern built the original church on this site in 553 AD
 It was then the Crosthwaite Parish Church in Cumberland

 This building began in the 1200s, and the tower was added before 1600.

 This christening font was given to the church in 1400 - my tenth-great-grandfather was christened in this font.  Wow....
