Cadzow Parish Church

Constructed in 1876 to meet the demands of a growing mining community, Cadzow Parish Church is now recognised by Historic Scotland as a Category B listed building. It has served the residents of Hamilton as a parish Church for over 140 years and remains an active Church of Scotland Congregation.

There are a number of artistic and architectural features that make Cadzow a worthwhile visit including many stained-glass windows depicting the stories of the bible, an unusual high arched ceiling that makes the church an ideal setting for musical performance, as well as many ornately crafted wood and plaster works.

Cadzow prominently features its war memorials and includes a book of remembrance beneath a stained-glass window commissioned by the congregation after WWII.? A special attraction to the church is our Forster and Andrews organ, one of only 23 in Scotland.

Visitors will be given guided tours of the building and invited to visit the newly renovated Session House for refreshments and a closer look at a number of Cadzow?s historic records and pictures.?

An organ concert will be provided at 3:30 pm on Saturday by our own organist, Mr. John Pitcathley who will demonstrate the musical range of this remarkable instrument.? (The building is presently having exterior works conducted and is in consequence surrounded by scaffolding)
