Just to the rear of the new church is a much older (pos 14th century?) church ruin. The graveyard has stones of many ages but there are two great ones amongst them.
One is a simple slim slab with a deep regular cross carved in it and the other has a beautiful semi-ornate cross visible. I was shown a photograph of this slab in its entirety this weekend and it actually has three crosses carved down its face.

From Castlewellen take the A50 south towards Newcastle and then the B180 north. Take the first right and just 200m on your left you will see some green gates (probably locked), park here and walk along the track/road beyond these gates. Beyond the new church is the old church. Have a good scout around who knows what you may find.
