Church Overview
Built as Maxwelltown Free Church in 1866, the church was designed by James Barbour. An imposing church in red sandstone, it presents a Gothic façade to the street with two large windows over the central door, a pierced parapet to the gable and a central octagonal belfry. Galleries on three sides focus on the 20th-century pulpit in front of the organ, rebuilt in 1948. The war memorial gates were moved here from Laurieknowe Church in 1999.
