Westwood St Mary

List of Incumbents

St Mary’s has always been part of Selston parish, and the vicar is therefore the vicar of Selston. However, for much of its history, St Mary’s has had a curate whose role has been to minister specifically to this church and the villages of Westwood and Jacksdale.
