St. John the Baptist Church at Skelsmergh dates from about 1871. Skelsmergh Hall incorporates a pele tower, probably built in 1425, with late 16th century and early 17th century additions. The tower is now an outbuilding. The River Sprint runs alongside the village and is "one of the quietest of the Lake District's valleys".left|thumbnail|The River SprintSkelsmergh had a population of 303 in 2011, up from 250 in 1961.
