Mayfield Salisbury Church, Church building in Newington district, Edinburgh, Scotland
Mayfield Salisbury Church is a church building located in the Newington district, about 1.5 miles south of Edinburgh's city center. The building features stained glass windows and has no tower or spire.
The church was built between 1875 and 1879 by architect Hippolyte Blanc for the growing local population. A fire in 1969 destroyed the roof, leading to major restoration work that returned the building to use.
The congregation that worships here came together through mergers, with the Mayfield and Salisbury churches joining in 1993 to serve the local community. This union shaped how the community gathered and continues to influence how people use the space today.
You can enter through west doors facing Mayfield Road or north doors from the halls entrance at 18 West Mayfield. Since it is an active place of worship, visiting hours may vary based on services and events.
A time capsule holding newspapers and architectural drawings from the 1870s was sealed inside a memorial stone laid by Lord Provost Sir Thomas Boyd in 1878. This hidden treasure offers a glimpse into what people valued enough to preserve for the future.
