Title

Williamwood Parish Church

Description

The history of Williamwood Church stretches back to 26th December 1936 when the Foundation Stone was positioned.The remainder of the church was built in 1937 and began with the opening of a church and hall, and the appointment of a minister.The church is a fine example of 1930s church architecture and was designed by James M Honeyman. Built in red brick with a short bell tower, the original interior has been upgraded and enriched. The rustic facing brick building contains some impressive stained glass windows depicting Biblical themes, symbols and stories. There is also a war memorial lectern - which was dedicated in 1951 - and a back lit hanging cross in the chancel area. There is also a small Iona Chapel off the main sanctuary.
