Thanks for your input folks.
The marriage was solemnized at 'The Congregational Tabernacle, New School, Whalley Road, Accrington' ... 'according to the Rites and Cermonies of the Congregationalists by Licence'... both a Minister and a Registrar were present.
No mention of a church.
Just out of interest, what is the name of the church that has a schoolroom entrance on Malt Street? Is/was that a Methodist church?

Many non conformist churches then (and some still now) weren't authorised to conduct weddings without a Registrar so the Minister will have conducted the service and the Registrar just dealt with the paperwork.
