    At the foot of the Newlands Pass watching over the village of Buttermere, is St James' Church. The original chapel dates from 1507, whilst the building in its current form was built in 1840. Ever the poet, Wordsworth once said of the place: ‘A man must be very unsensible who would not be touched at the sight of the chapel of Buttermere’.
