St Lawrence's Church, Morland, is the Parish Church for 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. The churches of St Mary, Little Strickland, and 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 church is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Benefice Safeguarding team, as well as Parish Safeguarding Officers assigned to each parish. Further information and contacts can be found on our safeguarding page, accessible via the button below. You will also find there links to our Diocese’s Safeguarding Advisor who advises us, information and relevant contacts. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed, or may be at risk of harm, please contact our safeguarding team 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.
