Cockermouth United Reformed Church

Cockermouth United Reformed Church is a congregation first established at Cockermouth, England, in 1651. Originally known as Cockermouth Independent Church, it was later called Cockermouth Congregational Church before acquiring its present name.[1] The congregation met initially in private houses, then settled on using a converted house from 1687. They constructed a chapel in 1719, which was rebuilt in 1735 and then replaced by the present building, which was completed in 1850. The current building, which is a Grade II listed building,[2] lies next to the previous chapel.[3]
