Holcombe Parish

Church of Saint Cuthbert
The Catholic parish of Holcombe was started as a Mass centre in 1925 by Dom Leander Donovan. Major and Mrs Leadbitter, who were living at Flint House, provided a room for the chapel in the house. Eventually there were too many people coming into the House, so the Leadbitters offered an eighteenth centruy coach house to be the Chapel. It was dedicated to St Cuthbert, as the Leadbitters had originally come from Durham after the First World War. There is a very fine stained glass window dedicated to St Cuthbert, and an unusual carved oak screen, which adds to the intimate and devotional interior of the Chapel.
