history |
Grangemouth West Free Church was an offshoot of an older Free Church congregation which had originated at the Disruption. The parish church, then vacant, had then been 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 West passed successively to the United Free Church and the Church of Scotland. The two former Free 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. |
