The Cockermouth United Reformed Church was established in the year 1651 as the Congregational Church.

The arched sign above the iron gates proudly indicates the establishment in 1651 of the first Independent (subsequently Congregational) Church in Cockermouth.

Its trials and tribulations are well documented (see Bradbury�s History of Cockermouth) and an early 18th century chapel, now a dwelling, stands behind the present building erected in 1850. Major modifications took place in the early 1990s when the church was divided horizontally; the lower part being converted into a general purpose function room with kitchen and toilets while the upper floor remained as the place of worship.

The building and its forecourt are extensively used: King�s Church meet there on Sundays at 3pm and the upper room hosts many concerts.

Services :

Sunday 11.30am
Every third Sunday 6.00pm
Tag meets every second Tuesday 2.30pm
