Warwick on Eden

Warwick lies on the river Edens west bank on a busy main road to Carlisle. The Queens Arms Inn is the local pub. The Saxons called the village Warrick-wick and the Normans named it Warthwick.

The stone church of St Leonard, although considered one of the countys best Norman churches, mostly dates from 1870. There is a Norman arch of 1130 still surviving and, at the east end, a Norman apse with two small windows. The apse is decorated outside by plain projecting pilaster strips carrying small arches, unusual for England.
