The church was consecrated by the Bishop of Carlisle on the 3rd of November 1853.
The present St.Patrick's replaced a church built about 1600.
Local tradition says that St.Patrick came to this dale in the early 5th. centuary,and that he converted local people into Christianity,and the dale is named after him,(St.Patrick's Dale or Patterdale).
