St Bride’s Church stands on elevated ground at the North end of the village near the River. It occupies the site of a Roman fort, and is dedicated to St Bride or Bridget who was Abbess of Kildare in the sixth century. The building is Norman, but was extensively rebuilt in the nineteenth century when it was in ruins. The Chancel arch and blocked North door are typically Norman.

The Church is open most days, and has many visitors as it is part of the Solway faith trail. A colour guidebook is available.

We meet for worship on Sundays, usually at 9.30. Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals, and other pastoral Offices can all be arranged. Our Rector lives in Kirkbride, and is shared with the parishes of Newton Arlosh and Bowness on Solway.
