Grasmere Parish Church The Church is dedicated to Oswald of Northumbria, king and champion of Christianity, who is believed to have preached on this site sometime before 642AD when he died in battle. It is a Grade One Listed building of national historic interest. The oldest parts date from around 1300AD, but it is probably the third church to have stood on this ancient site by the side of the River Rothay. The register of parish priests commences in 1254AD. The Queen's College, Oxford, is patron of the church.
