Background |
The Old West Kirk in
Greenock has a history of over 400 years, being the first
Scottish Presbyterian church to be built after the
Reformation in Scotland. For 250 years the Parish Church
and for 170 years of these the only church in
Greenock.
In 1926 the church, a somewhat cruciform shaped building was moved stone by stone from its original site near the junction of the West Burn with the 'River of Clyd' to its new site at Seafield on the Esplanade.
