St. Mary (1847). NY 0380 3661. © Steve Bulman. Link. Grade II listing, which says that the church was originally built in 1760. The present building is substantially of the re-builds of 1847 (of which the tower survives) and 1892.

The Salvation Army commenced in Maryport in 1886, and initially used the Temperance Hall, Athenaeum, and Co-operative Hall, before moving into what had previously been a Presbyterian Chapel on John Street in 1892, and remained there until 1959 at least, as Maryport Temple. © Salvation Army Philatelic and Historical Society (SAPHA). Can you advise if any of the other buildings survive, or where they were?

Trinity Baptist Church. NY 037 363. © Steve Bulman. Another view, © Alan Blacklock. Link.

Possible old church, which I'm advised is now a Masonic Hall. NY 036 368. © Steve Bulman. Janet Gimber has advised that, although not a chapel, the Masonic Hall stands on the site of a Baptist Chapel. It had a Sunday School behind, and to judge from old map evidence, that building may have been incorporated into the present building.
