Description
An account of the resource
<p>Built in 1732 to a design by William Adam this is a typical T-shaped church of the Presbyterian form. The south façade contains two large round-headed windows with remnants of the former tracery. </p><p>The pulpit stood in the centre of the south wall, facing aisles to the north, west and east, each with a gallery. A door in each of these gables gave access to the ground floor. The galleries were reached by external stairs on the north side and the upper floor doorways mark their positions.</p><p>Until last year the building was barely visible due to the growth of ivy, but recent work by the Falkirk Local History Society has seen this ivy removed. The restoration project was undertaken to enhance the World Heritage Site of the Antonine Wall, upon which the church is built.</p>
