Summary "The Church of Grasmere: A History" by Mary L. Armitt is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the history and significance of St. Oswald's Church in Grasmere, exploring its origins, geographical context, and ecclesiastical governance over the centuries. The book aims to shed light on a locality that has, despite its rich cultural and natural heritage, often been overlooked by historians. At the start of the book, the author introduces the historical context of Grasmere, emphasizing its geographical isolation and how it has captivated poets and nature lovers while remaining relatively neglected by historians. Armitt explains the church's significance by outlining its dedication to St. Oswald and details the early influences of Christianity in the region. Similarly, the opening discusses the historical transitions within the church's governance, including its interactions with various patrons, legal aspects, and the eventual appropriation by the Abbey of St. Mary in York. Through meticulous research and anecdotal evidence, Armitt sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the church's role within its community and its historical relevance.
