St John's Cross: The Cross church (also known as the North church) was destroyed by fire in 1645. In 1759 the building was repaired for use by the Fourth Charge of Dundee and was erected a chapel in 1788. St John's parish was disjoined from St Mary's on 3 July 1834. The church was built in 1839 but was one of the three Burgh churches destroyed by fire in 1841. After the destruction of St John's the congregation temporarily worshipped in the Gaelic Chapel on South Tay Street and the Lindsay Street Congregational Chapel from 1843 until the allocation of the South Tay Street building to the charge in 1845. In 1909 the charge erected a new church in Blackness Avenue and was added quoad sacra to the parish of Liff and Benvie. The church was opened in 1914 and extended in 1974.
Logie and St John's (Cross): Following the union of Logie and St John's (Cross) in 1982, the latter's buildings were used as the congregation's place of worship and the Logie buildings sold. The original building is B-Listed. |
