Congregational Church, Carlisle


Lowther Street Congregational Church (aka Carlisle City Church) in Carlisle, was built 1842-1843, designed by John Nichol of Edinburgh. It replaced an earlier place of worship for a much older independent congregation. Today, the church is part of The Congregational Federation. The Lowther Street Congregational Church is a Grade II* listed building on the National Heritage List for England. A plaque on the outside of the Church is inscribed:

The mother of Thomas Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America was born in Carlisle. /// Her Father, The Revd. Thomas Woodrow M.A. was Minister of this Church, then worshiping in Annetwell Street from February 1820 to June 1835.

This Tablet is placed here to commemorate President Woodrow Wilson’s “Pilgrimage of the Heart” to this Church, 29th December 1918.
