Following a period of consultation and review, the list below outlines the definitive future parish structure. It is envisaged that parishes will move towards this structure in waves over the next two to ten years.
The names of constituent parishes are those used in the Bishop’s House Database, it may be that there are local variations. It is expected that each area will agree a name for their future parish as part of the development of their local plan; to be agreed with Bishop Philip when their local plan is presented to him. For now, geographical descriptions have been used. Please click on the link below to open the document:
