Remains of Cockermouth Church, 1850. Creator: Unknown.

Remains of Cockermouth Church, 1850. All Saints, an 18th-century church in Cumbria, was destroyed by fire. 'There appears to be no doubt that the conflagration originated in the tower end of the venerable edifice. From the immense quantity of wood in the construction of that portion of the building, the flames spread with frightful rapidity, and burst through every window, whilst portions of the roof, as the fire advanced, fell in...the flames raged until the excellent peal of six bells, the organ, Church clock, chimes, chandeliers, galleries, pulpit, pews, paintings near the altar, marble monuments - everything, in short, but the bare walls, was destroyed; and even these are so much injured...as to preclude the possibility of their being available, save as old materials....View of the Tower and roofless walls from a Daguerreotype, taken by Mr. Joseph Martin, of Cockermouth.'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
