The “new” chapel mentioned by Wordsworth has since been replaced by a building constructed
in 1881 (All Saints Church, Watermillock). However, the tower at the building’s west
end dates from the 1550s. Bishop Owen Oglethorpe, who consecrated the fifteenth-century
building, was the lone clergyman willing to crown Elizabeth I in 1559 because of her
public Protestantism. He came to regret that decision. Queen Elizabeth imprisoned
him months later, and he died a religious martyr. Photo: Bob Jenkins, Wikimedia Commons.
