The great staircase at Penryhn Castle is of a suitable bulk and sufficient ornamentation for that overwhelming Welsh pile. One wonders, however, if the destination can match the grandeur of the ascent? It can indeed; the decorated and sculpted ceiling is well worthy of the climb.
The Methodist Church at Kirkby Lonsdale meet in a simple nonconformist chapel constructed in an Early English style with its thin lancet windows. A datestone, describing it as Wesleyan, helpfully offers the year 1834. The Wesleyan branch of Methodism merged with the Primitives and Uniteds in 1932, so these older names survive in records and architecture only.
This is the grave of Samuel Crompton at Bolton-le-Moors, Lancashire, the famous British inventor of the spinning mule which aided the industrial revolution.
