history |
In 1695, with assistance from Anne, Duchess of Hamilton, a second charge was established for the parish of Hamilton and a second church was erected within the parish to serve this charge. The church, which was named Auchingramont, was used for public worship from 1860. Hamilton Old Kirk Session was later to become known as Hamilton Old and Auchingramont, and the two charges were united together in 1961. The church of Auchingramont remained in use until 1980 when worship within the church ceased, and it was sold two years later in 1982. The name Auchingramont was later dropped in 1980. The kirk session sits within the Presbytery of Hamilton. |
