Osmotherley is a parish in Lancashire North of the Sands without any village as such but with a scattering of moorland hamlets, extending north from Ulverston.

The parish church is St John the Evangelist's (SD27908215), which stands alone by the lane running south-west from Broughton Beck, beside one of the farms of the parish. It is the only listed building in the parish (Grade II).[1] It was built by Austin and Paley in the late 1800s as a daughter church to St Mary in Ulverston.

The Cumbria Way long distance walking route, which links the three shires of the Lake District, runs through the parish and past the church.
