Side 1: Cookney Quoad Sacra Church 1859;
Side 2: This Do in Remembrance of Me.
A Quoad Sacra parish was created in an area which had become too large for one minister to care for effectively. The new parish had religious significance only (quoad sacra) while the original parish retained both its religious and local-government functions (quoad omnia).
