Cumberland Parishes in 1901

This list of the parishes of Cumberland is derived from Bulmer's "History and Directory of Cumberland", published in 1901. Unlike Mannix and Whellan, which divides the county into ecclesiastical parishes, Bulmer divides the county into both ecclesiastical and civil parishes. Unsurprisingly, there is much duplication between the two directories.

Carlisle, while neither a civil or ecclesiastical parish, is given separate coverage.
