The parish lies immediately to the south of Carlisle itself and comprises the following settlements - Blackwell, Durdar, Carleton, Brisco and Wreay (the first three are usually regarded as outlying parts of Carlisle, although were not part of the former county borough of Carlisle).

Many of this church's details are within. There is an excellent overview of its interior here. There are 84 windows, having a numerical significance of being the product of 3 x 4 x 7. The proportions and organization of the windows are unusual, but somehow satisfying. What I really liked were the endearing stone carvings that give this church an entirely unique character.
