Kirkland is a small village of 70 properties ^[1] near the A5086 road, in the Cumberland district, in the English county of Cumbria. It is in the Ward of Lamplugh (The Lamplugh Parish Council ^[2] ) The nearest town is Cleator Moor.

The Bible Christian chapel was built when Cornish tin-miners, as part of the Cornish diaspora, relocated to the iron ore workings in West Cumbria. It replicates the Bible Christian Church Chapels in Devon & Cornwall. The Bible Christians amalgamated into the Methodist Movement in the early 20th century. This chapel was 'revived' and used until the mid-1990s. ^[3] (It has since been developed as a residential property. ^[4] )
