Amazingly, almost all of the money for it, about £1600, was raised at a grand bazaar in the Town Hall that year.The original plans by Alexander Gauld were modified when the mission was given a bell from Falkirk Steeple – the tower was provided with a louvred belfry instead of a dome. The church has a horseshoe balcony, reached by a stair in the tower. A library (now a crèche) and meeting rooms were placed to the front of the building.The Town Mission closed its doors for the last time in March 1985. On 12th December 1986 they re-opened as the Struther’s Memorial Church and remain so to this day. Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1899
