Summary Description

Built in stone in 1865 by Bruce of Whitehaven, a minor local church architect of the time. The architecture is surprisingly old fashioned gothic for its period, but its traditional tower is a significant local landmark to Christianity in Cockermouth and it compliments the steeple of All Saints church in many views within and without the town.

Visiting and Facilities

The church is open for worship.
