history |
Tron St Mary?s Church , Glasgow (formerly the Laigh Kirk) owed its origins to the pre-Reformation collegiate church of Our Lady and St Anne on the south side of Trongate. In 1592 the town council put the church in order to serve for public worship. It was generally known as the Laigh Kirk (the High Kirk being the Cathedral), or Tron Kirk, from the nearby tron, or weighing machine. The church itself, with the exception of the tower, which is now free-standing, was rebuilt in 1794 after a fire the previous year. In 1929 the charge took the name of Balornock Tron Church of Scotland and in 1946 moved to Red Road, Balornock. It is in the presbytery of Glasgow and was formerly in the synod of Glasgow and Ayr (later Clydesdale). |
