Welcome to Cumwhitton Parish Church, which is dedicated to St Mary, the mother of Christ.

Our parish is one of ten in the Eden, Gelt and Irthing Team Ministry. The Interim Team Rector, the Revd Canon Tricia Rogers, resides in nearby Brampton, while the Team Vicar, Revd Edward Johnsen, resides in Hayton itself. Edward has pastoral responsibility for Cumwhitton parish, along with the parishes of Castle Carrock, Cumrew, Farlam, Hayton and Talkin.

The parish of Cumwhitton: St Mary's is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer, PSO. The Diocese of Carlisle’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) 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 DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
