In the village of Caldbeck, Cumbria is a church dedicated to St Kentigern. The church building has been restored and extended many times, but the main structure dates from the 12-13th centuries. However, the current building is on the site of the original 6th-century church. Nestled in the steep bank of Cald Beck at the rear of the church is a well in which, according to tradition, local people were baptised by St Kentigern during his famous missionary work. For centuries Holy Hierarch Kentigern (Mungo) of Strathclyde, Bishop of Glasgow, Wonderworker has been venerated as an apostle of Scotland and patron saint of Glasgow.

Holy Hierarch Kentigern, pray to God for us!
