John Lee, whose family has old roots in the area (for example, he has relatives buried in Old Brampton churchyard - see above) gave me an enthusiastic tour of the church, priory and church hall.

This is the present church hall. There are pigments of wall painting on the walls which go back to the 1500s. The roof timbers were cut much earlier than that. This would have been a great hall for the Dacre family after the Dissolution. Now it serves the small local congregation and is ideal for line dancing.
