Boltongate is a village in Cumbria, England. It is situated about 10 miles (16 km) north-east of Cockermouth. It is located just outside the Lake District National Park.
All Saints' Church has a stone tunnel-vaulted roof said to be the only one of its kind in England. It is a fortified church thought to have been strengthened to resist Scottish reivers or raiders. The nearby rectory incorporates a 15th-century pele tower.[1]
