*************

St Oswald's Church, Grasmere, is located in the village of Grasmere, in the Lake District, Cumbria, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Windermere, the archdeaconry of Westmorland and Furness, and the diocese of Carlisle.^[1] The church has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building.^[2] It is notable for its associations with the poet, William Wordsworth and his family,^[3] and for its annual ceremony of rushbearing.^[4]

The first church in Grasmere was founded by Oswald of Northumbria, King of Northumbria, in 642. The present church stands on or near the same site, and is dedicated to him.^[4] It dates from the 14th century,^[2] and was doubled in size by the addition of a parallel nave to the north of the original nave between 1490 and 1500.^[5] The roof was rebuilt in about 1562, which involved adding a second tier of arches to the arcade. The windows and doors were restored in 1840 by George Webster
