Frizington village east of Whitehaven Cumbria

Frizington

In the 19^th century the village of Frizington developed from a scattered collection of farms and houses as a result of the development of the coal and iron ore mining industry in the area. Mining ceased in the early 1900s. One long street characterized the village. The church of St Paul was constructed in 1867-68. There is a stained glass window with scenes from the life of Christ.
