Reproduced from an original owned by the Earl of Lonsdale, to accompany an article Whitehaven, its Streets, its Principal Houses and their Inhabitants, by William Jackson. No date, but:-
'that may be closely fixed by the fact that the Old Church was built, or at any rate being built, whilst the site of the Presbyterian Chapel, the ground for which was granted 14th, February, 1694, is still a blank.'
