Renfield United Free Church, Glasgow, began in George Street in 1819, as an offshoot of an existing Auld Licht congregation, formed to serve the newly developing west end of the city. In 1823 this congregation built a new church at the intersection of Renfield Street and Gordon Street. They joined the Church of Scotland in 1839, but adhered to the Free Church at the Disruption. In 1856 they moved further west to a new site on the south side of Bath Street at Elmbank Street. The church terminated in 1923 on uniting with St John?s as St John?s and Renfield. As a Church of Scotland charge it was in the presbytery of Glasgow and the synod of Glasgow and Ayr. |
