The Roman Catholic Church dedicated to Our Lady and St Michael was built in 1876 from designs by E.W. Pugin. The style is Early English, and it may fairly be said to be one of the finest specimens of this style of architecture in the county, as it is unquestionably by far the finest in Workington. The Church incorporates medieval carvings and abilbaster sculptures.
It replaced a chapel built in 1814, on land given by John Curwen of Workington Hall to the Irish immigrants who worked on his farms and in his collieries.
