Churches in Cumbria

Church life in Cumbria

Church life in Cumbria reaches back well over a thousand years, and the county still holds everything from ancient parish churches at the centre of its villages to newer congregations meeting in schools and community halls. The county town of Carlisle anchors local church life, and a short drive in any direction will pass several more places of worship. Browse by town below, or filter by denomination to find the tradition where you feel most at home.

Whether you are in Carlisle or a village on the far side of the county, a church community is rarely far away. Our listings are drawn from public records, church websites and submissions from congregations themselves, and we are working towards a complete picture of Christian worship in every corner of Cumbria.

After a particular tradition? Use the “by denomination” links to filter to Church of England, Roman Catholic, Methodist, Baptist, Pentecostal, or independent congregations in Cumbria.
