Parish Map Help

The parish map is the area where all information about each parish is collected together. You can either go to the map and click on the parish you wish to look at, or you can select from the drop down list at the top of the page to go to the relevant parish.

The first section of the page will give you some outline details of the parish and its churches plus a photo of the main church if we have one.

Where other information is available on line , links to that information will be provided. This could for example be to web sites with memorial inscriptions or other useful data.

Basic details are provided for the parish, this includes a map reference and a link to a modern day map of the location. There is then a link to the Cumbria County History website that will give you background historical details of the location.
