A print to
make your own.
The tower’s compact red form stands against a wide sweep of green. Its battlements and narrow turret give the outline a strong rhythm, while the low enclosing platform marks a small, deliberate place on the hill.

In my words.
Kirkoswald came into my journey during a cycle ride through the Eden Valley. At St Oswald’s I found myself looking from the spring below the church towards this tower on the hill. The place asked me to look in more than one direction.
Seen on its own, the tower becomes almost a model of a building. Door, bell openings, parapet and corner turret are held within a few clear shapes. The surrounding fields make that smallness more affecting. I like the contrast between its precise outline and the loose, unfolding pattern of the countryside.
A belfry with its own history.
Historic England records a core dated 1743 and rebuilding in 1893. The lower masonry belongs to the eighteenth century, with the upper stage renewed in the nineteenth. Its red sandstone walls, two-light bell openings and corner stair turret make the small structure unusually expressive. It is separate from the much older parish church below.
