Wythburn
Wythburn Church is the ancient parish church of Thirlmere. The bulk of hte parish was flooded by the Manchester Water Corporation when the Thirlmere Reservoir was created.
There is no electricity or gas - so the church is cold in winter!
The parish was then combined with St John's in the Vale. The church is used for worship in the summer months and for Candlemas - they are either lit by natural light or candlelight.
