Curwen (1932) notes the former church building -it was dismantled and submerged in the 1930s- as: "a post-Reformation chapel of Shap, and without any special dedication. The earliest date that we have is contained in a note of the death of Randall Brockbank in 1596", later made parochial. [NB: we have no information on the font of the disappeared church]. [NB: there is no indication of parochial use of either of the two other chapels of Shap, those at Keld and Swindale].
