History
|
There has been a congregation at St Mungo's since long before the Reformation. By the 14th century a chapel dedicated to St Mungo existed in Kirkgate, Alloa. Originally Alloa was in the parish of Clackmannan, but during the 14th century it was disjoined and became attached to the Diocese of Dunblane. The parishes of Tullibody and Alloa were united in 1600. St Mungo's remained in Kirkgate until around 1815, in 1819 a new church was opened in Bedford Place. After the union of the United Free Church and the Church of Scotland Alloa was more frequently known as Alloa St Mungo's to distinguish it from other Alloa churches. It is in the Presbytery of Stirling.
