Welcome to Brigham

Brigham is a small village located in the county of Cumbria, England. It is situated on the western edge of the Lake District National Park, and it is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a population of around 1,000 people, and it is known for its historic buildings, including the 12th-century St. Bridget's Church and the 17th-century Brigham Hall.

One of the main attractions in Brigham is St. Bridget's Church, which is a Grade I listed building. The church dates back to the 12th century, and it has a rich history. It features a Norman doorway, a 14th-century font, and a 15th-century rood screen. The church also has a beautiful stained glass window, which was designed by the famous artist Edward Burne-Jones.

Another notable building in Brigham is Brigham Hall, which is a Grade II listed building. The hall was built in the 17th century, and it has been used as a private residence, a school, and a hospital over the years. Today, it is a private residence once again, and it is not open to the public. However, visitors can still admire the beautiful architecture of the building from the outside.
