history |
Grangemouth Free Church originated at the Disruption. The parish church, then vacant, was given to the Free Church by the Earl of Zetland. The congregation worshipped there until 1884, when a new church was built at the north end of the town, known as Charing Cross Church. Some members remained in the old building as a new Grangemouth West congregation, sanctioned in 1884. Grangemouth Free Church passed successively to the United Free Church, as Grangemouth Charing Cross, and to the Church of Scotland. The two former Free Church churches united in 1978 as Grangemouth Charing Cross and West. As Church of Scotland charges they were in the presbytery of Linlithgow and Falkirk and the synod of Lothian and Tweeddale. |
