Construction was completed in 1800. </span><span>It was designed by Henry Bell, who built the "Comet", Europe's first passenger-carrying steam ship, and built at a cost of £950. </span><span>The building incorporates two features from the old church it replaced, an arch inside the porch and a window with slender fluted pillars in the front of tower.</span></p> <p><span>The porch to the front, a hall to the rear and the apse accommodating the organ and choir were added around 1890, as was a heating system. <span>The pink sandstone arch was built at that time and it is likely that the free-standing (and movable) pulpit was also installed then. A further hall was added in 1931 and in 1999/2000 the halls were remodelled and refurbished and a new kitchen added.</span></span></p> <p><span>Within the church are an organ by H Willis and Sons installed in 1903, stained glass windows including one made by Gordon McWhirter Webster in 1932 (Webster?s designs for all eight ground floor windows are on display) and a pulpit fall and companion communion table runner by Marilyn E W McGregor DA (1999). Outside there is a Memorial garden, the Garden of Hope.</span></p> 1799 Museum 3474 current,55.73573,-3.841148; 29 Mount Stuart Street Carluke 11089 No Henry Bell 29/9/2018 12 pm to 2 pm <p>The tower of the old church has been retained as a monument in its original site in the old graveyard at the bottom of the town.</p> <p>Exhibition ?Giving for Life?</p> <p>Guided tours available.
