| The Church of St Marys, Wreay |
 |
| Miss Sarah Losh, designed and built the church in 1840-1842 as a memorial to her sister Catherine and to her parents |
 |
| It has many French and Italian Features. |
One of the recurring themes is the conflict between life and death, light and darkness. There are acorns and pine cones everywhere. The Church is in the form of a Roman basilica, a rectangular building and apse. The apse is surrounded by 14 pillars, the spaces between forming 13 seats. Above them are the emblems of the 12 aposles, with Christ in the centre. Above these are decorations on the wall, round the fossil windows, of lilies and passion flowers.
