The Parish of Tideswell in Derbyshire's Peak District

Welcome to the Parish (Benefice) of Tideswell in Derbyshire’s beautiful Peak District. It includes Tideswell itself, along with the villages of  Cressbrook, Litton, Miller’s Dale, Peak Dale and Wormhill. For information on services, clergy contact details, events and news, click/tap on the church you are interested in to go their home page. All are welcome to our churches, whether as pilgrims, tourists or worshippers. If you need help with arranging a baptism, wedding or funeral, contact us using the 'Get in Touch' page. Whether you are able to visit in person or only ‘virtually’, we hope you find time and space to meet with God here. 

In 2023, our PCC affirmed this statement of inclusivity:

The Churches of Tideswell Parish welcome all, irrespective of age or ability, race or faith commitment, gender or sexuality.

We recognise that full inclusion is the goal of a journey and not accomplished all at once; but it is a journey we are committed to.
