The United Reformed Church in England and Wales came into being on 2 October 1972 as a result of the union of the Presbyterian Church of England and the Congregational Church in England and Wales. The Presbyterian and Congregational churches in Whitehaven had actually merged prior to the national union, holding their service of union on 7 September 1969.
Historically, there were two Presbyterian churches in Whitehaven: James Street [Market Place], built in 1695, and High Street, built around 1760. They had formed into one congregation, worshipping at the James Street church, on 24 February 1895.
