	The nave of Holme Cultram Abbey was retained for use as a village church when the Abbey was dissolved in 1538 It was badly damaged by fire started by local youths a few years ago, but has largely been restored It was also a place where locals could go for refuge against raids by Border Reivers The churchyard contains a few stones with interesting motifs
	On this gravestone, the sun and the moon flank the eye, dividers (compass) and set square above a book The moon surrounded by stars Another nearby stone with masonic symbols - compass and set square - perhaps a third order mason Stones from the Abbey were used to build the village
