St Thomas a Becket's, Farlam is the parish church for a rural fellside parish that extends from Milton in the west to Midgeholme in the east. It sits dramatically on a knoll on the downward slopes of the Pennines. The main village in the parish is Hallbankgate, there also villages at Tindale and at Farlam. NB the church is not in Farlam village itself, but is at Kirkhouse, a quarter of a mile off the A689.

The Church was built in 1860 (for further info. and photo see website - http://farlamparishchurch.co.uk  ) and replaced an earlier medieval building. It is large and spacious for a rural church - built when the parish was much more populous and included several mines and quarries which have since closed. The building is structurally sound but requires extensive and expensive repairs if it is to remain open. A Restoration Group is seeking grants. A large churchyard includes a memorial to Joseph Bell, Chief Engineer on the Titanic.
