history |
Plantation Church, Glasgow, began in 1862 with mission work by the Glasgow Elders? Association in Connection with the Church of Scotland, which appointed a home missionary to work in the Havannah area off High Street. A church was built, generally known as the ?Elders? Church?, or Elders? Church Havannah. The site was later purchased by the Improvement Trustees and the Association acquired a new one south of the river in Plantation Street in 1874. A church was built in the same year and the parish was erected (as Plantation quoad sacra) in 1875. From c.1930 it became known as Plantation St Andrew?s, but terminated in 1953 on uniting with Plantation Cornwall Street as Plantation. In 1975 it was renamed St Andrew's Plantation when the parish united with Pollok Street. It was in the presbytery of Glasgow and the synod of Glasgow and Ayr (later Clydesdale). |
