Summary edit
| Description |
English: Cowper Memorial Church, Olney, Buckinghamshire. The first Independent Church, as it was then called, was built on the site in 1662, re-established in 1762, enlarged in 1818, and demolished in 1879. The cornerstone of the present church was laid on Thursday 2nd May 1879 and opened to public worship on Tuesday 8th June 1880. At the time it was called the Congregational Chapel. The church was renamed the Cowper Memorial after one of the deacons read a brief history of the church from 1662. He said "It is 79 years since Cowper had left this mundane world to grace the higher and the eternal, to take the golden harp that is strung and tuned for endless years. Surely it is time that something was erected to his memory, something that was worthy of the man, worthy of the town, worthy of the nation and what better than a place of worship! What better than a Congregational Church." http://www.cowperurc.org.uk/ |
