Alloa St Mungo’s RC Church

The church was constructed in dark brown brick and is still modern in appearance though traditional in form: it has a huge east gable with a five-light window and a belfry with narrow, vertical louvred slits.

The nave is spacious and bright, the narrow aisles supported on elegant, tall octagonal columns. In the Lady Chapel is a richly coloured, three-light stained glass window by Sadie McLellan in the Dalles de Verre technique developed in France in the 1930s, where the glass is cast in a mould, broken into pieces and the design set into a resin compound instead of lead cames. This technique still looks startlingly modern. Many of the modern furnishings of the church were donated by various parishioners. Some of the church vestments may be on display.
