We are a friendly, welcoming local church in the Eden Valley in Cumbria. We have a regular pattern of services and are open for private prayer. We are also happy to receive inquiries for weddings and Christenings. We are part of the North Westmorland group of churches.
St Lawrence's Church, Morland, is the Parish Church for the villages of Morland, Cliburn, Kings Meaburn, Newby, Sleagill and Little Strickland. The historic parishes of Thrimby and Cliburn are now part of the parish of Morland, and we are better prepared for the future by being together. St Cuthbert's in Cliburn are still fully open, as are their churchyards, and are available for baptisms, marriages and funerals.
We are part of the North Westmorland Benefice, together with the churches of Askham and Lowther, Bampton, Bolton, Clifton and Brougham, Crosby Ravensworth, Great Strickland and Shap.
Our parish is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Carlisle’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
