Welcome to the Parish of the Black Combe Churches, with the churches
of Bootle St Michael and All Angels, Corney St John the Baptist, Whicham St
Mary and Whitbeck St Mary. We are a chain of small Anglican churches spread
between the sea and the fells around the foot of Black Combe, serving the farms
and villages of the area. Our website gives information about our churches, our
worship and the services we offer to our communities.
Our churches are part of the Benefice of the Western Lakes
District Churches, the South Calder Mission Community and the Calder Deanery in
the Diocese of Carlisle.
In October 2017 the Bishop of Carlisle appointed The Revd
Angela Overton-Benge as Assistant Priest in the Black Combe Parish, to support
the work of Revd Canon Gill Hart across the Benefice that comprises of the
parishes of The Black Combe Churches, Waberthwaite, Muncaster, Eskdale, Irton
and Drigg.
