| St Bridget's Church (Brigham) | Ancient Cross | England | Cumbria | Visited | 14th Aug 2018 | 3 | 4 | 5 | St Bridget's, Brigham (Anglo Saxon Stones): Whilst this church looks very austere from outside, and the entrance doors dark and foreboding, once inside the church, it is a completely different picture – this church is light, airy and welcoming. The painted ceilings are fantastic.
