Kirkby Stephen, Parish Church of St Stephen

            Kirkby Stephen Parish Church, sometimes referred to as "the Cathedral of the Dales", stands to the north of the Market Place in the centre of the town in the beautiful Eden Valley.
It is believed that at least three churches have stood on this site, the earliest being pre-Conquest. Testimony to this early history is the Loki Stone - an Anglo-Danish cross shaft with a carving of a chained devil, representing the old Norse god Loki. The whole church was rebuilt around 1230 and the nave arcades and the north transept survive from this time. The south aisle was rebuilt in the 15th century and the tower was added shortly afterwards. The chancel and north and south chapels were rebuilt in the mid-19th century, with the clerestory added in 1871.
