TO FIND A PARISH when you aren't sure of the diocese, you can use our England by Region listings. Not every parish has a web page, of course, but the official web site of almost every diocese has a listing of parishes. Items listed in bold are ceremonial counties; items listed with an asterisk* are unitary authorities. Both terms are explained here.
