St Mary's Church, Dalton-in-Furness

[4] The present church was built in 1884–85 to a design by the Lancaster partnership of Paley and Austin.

[5] In 1979–80 a parish centre was built adjacent to the church and linked to it by its south porch.

The church is constructed in snecked red sandstone with ashlar dressings and green slate roofs.

The tower is supported by buttresses, contains three-light bell openings, and has an embattled parapet.

At its southwest corner is an octagonal stair turret, rising to the greater height than the tower.

There is chequerwork decoration on the parapets of the tower and south chapel, above the porches, and over the east and west windows.

There are fragments of stained glass dating from the early 16th century in the north porch.

In the churchyard is a slate graveslab standing on a limestone plinth to the memory of the artist George Romney, who was born in the village and died in 1802.
