St Patrick's Church is a grade II listed building.[5] It is within the ecclesiastical parish of St Thomas, Crosscrake, in the Kendal deanery of the Diocese of Carlisle.[6]

Preston Patrick Hall dates probably from the late 14th century, comprising the remains of a medieval tower house altered in the 17th century.[7] It is now a private house, and is Grade II* listed.[8]

There are 27 listed buildings or structures in the parish, including several milestones on the A65.[9]

The former primary school, built in 1775, closed in 1949 and is now an art gallery.[10] The Friends Meeting House was built in 1869 on the site of a previous meeting house built in 1691 which had fallen into disrepair after 1833.[11]

Preston Patrick Memorial Hall, built in the 1920s, is a community hall used for a range of events including meetings of the local Women's Institute.[12][13]
