Workington b&b, guesthouse and hotel accommodation

Visit Workington and the surrounding villages and stay in bed & breakfast accommodation:

Workington, Cumbria, was Gabrosentum in Roman times and the site of a fort. Anglian invaders settled at some stage of the Anglo-Saxon conquest. In the 9^th century the Lindisfarne monks, fleeing from the Danes on the north-east coast of England tried to sail for Ireland from Workington, and the Lindisfarne Gospels (British Museum) were washed overboard. The Curwen family, claiming descent from Malcolm II of Scotland and Etheired the Unready, built Workington Hall (not in use now) in the 14^th century. Mary Queen of Scots spent a night there in 1568 after fleeing from the battle of Langside. St Michael's Church, largely rebuilt in 1887 after a fire, is late Decorated Gothic. Cross fragments indicate use of the site from the 8^th century. St John's (1823) has a Classical exterior, a replica of St Paul's, Covent Garden. Sir Ninian Comper designed the painted interior with its golden columns in 1931.
