Marriage - registering a building of worship

Registering a building of worship

Under the provision of the Places of Worship Registration Act 1855, a place of meeting for religious worship may apply to the Registrar General, through the local Superintendent Registrar in the district where the venue is situated, to become a certified building of worship. This excludes churches and chapels of the Church of England, unless it shares a church building with another religious denomination.

Cumbria County Council provide Registering a Building of Worship as part of their community information service.
