history |
The congregation of Menmuir Free Church, which sat within the Presbytery of Brechin, was established in 1843 at the time of the Disruption when a number of the members of Menmuir Parish Church, and the surrounding area where no Free Church was accessible, adhered to the Free Church. Worship took place initially in the open air until a church was opened in 1844 and the charge was sanctioned in the following year. In 1900, upon the union of the Free Church and the United Presbyterians, Menmuir Free Church became Menmuir United Free Church and following the 1929 union between the United Free Church and the Church of Scotland, Menmuir United Free Church was renamed Menmuir South. In 1942 Menmuir South was joined with the congregation of Menmuir North, under the name of Menmuir, and the former South church and manse reverted to the superior in the same year. |
