More about this scene
Set back from the A66, the King's Arms with its stables and courtyard to the rear was once a coaching- house serving travellers on the Penrith to Darlington turnpike, a route linking the Lakes, the Eden Valley and Stainmore with Durham and Yorkshire. Next to it stands the Church of St James, built in 1754, enlarged sixteen years later, then following a century of use restored in 1873.
