Grade I listed churches in Cumbria

It was created in 1974 from the historical counties of Westmorland and Cumberland, together with the Furness area of Lancashire and the Sedbergh Rural District of the West Riding of Yorkshire.

[2] Listed status gives the structure national recognition and protection against alteration or demolition without authorisation.

[21] Cumbria is predominantly rural, and has the largest national park in England and Wales, the Lake District.

The county's major industry is tourism, but there is also some manufacturing, especially in the coastal towns of Barrow-in-Furness and Whitehaven.

[22] The building materials used for the churches are mainly the sedimentary rocks of sandstone and limestone, with roofs in metamorphic slate.
