The church itself was built in the 1200’s and most of the paintings are believed to date from around the…

The area was heavily occupied before that and parts of the castle may even lie over a Roman fort–hence the ‘caster’ in Muncaster. One of the castle’s treasures is the ‘Luck of Muncaster, ‘ a bowl given to the family by Henry VI, who took shelter there after the Battle of Hexham in 1464. (Some sources say after…
