history |
St David?s (Ramshorn) Church, Glasgow, was established as a separate burgh church in 1718. The parish was known as North-West Parish, but the usual name for the church was Ramshorn, from the lands on which it stood. The original building was demolished in the early 19th century to create a new road, Ingram Street, and a new St David's Church was built in 1824 on the same site. Thomas Rickman, a Birmingham architect, was chosen to design the new building, and his plans were modified by Dr James Cleland, Superintendent of Public Works in Glasgow. The Church halls were constructed in 1920. By 1911 all 32 windows had been filled with stained or painted glass, containing memorials to prominent citizens. Most of the stained glass was made in Glasgow, which was a world leader in stained glass at that time. In 1953 the congregation united with that of Glasgow, St Paul's (Outer High) Church as St Paul's (Outer High) and St David's (Ramshorn) Church of Scotland. |
