Saltaire United Reformed Church was originally Saltaire Congregational Church. It was commissioned and paid for by Titus Salt in the mid 19th century to sit in the model village of Saltaire he was having built for the workers at his mill. The church (a Grade I listed building) was designed by the Bradford-based architect partnership of Lockwood and Mawson (who were the architects who were responsible for the rest of Saltaire) in the Italianate Classical style. In 1972 the church became Saltaire United Reformed Church following the merger of Congregational and Presbyterian Churches in England.

Saltaire is a Victorian model village on the outskirts of Bradford, by the River Aire and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal The village takes its name from Titus Salt, a Victorian textile magnate and philanthropist who built a mill and a village to house his workers.
