history |
St Ninian?s Church, Glasgow, began in 1877 with the appointment of an established church minister to work in Crown Street, Gorbals. The church (in Crown Street at Kidston Street) was built in 1884, and the parish was disjoined from Govan as St Ninian?s quoad sacra five years later. It terminated in 1934 on uniting with Wynd as St Ninian?s Wynd. Wynd was a former Free (later United Free) church, many of whose members rejected union with the Church of Scotland in 1929 and held out as part of the United Free Church (Continuing). This led to an exchange of property, whereby the Wynd congregation took over the Crown Street building and the new St Ninian?s Wynd congregation removed to the Wynd church at the corner of Cathcart Road and Crown Street. As a Church of Scotland charge it was in the presbytery of Glasgow and the synod of Clydesdale. |
