St. Mungo's Parish Church, Gothic parish church in Alloa, United Kingdom
Description
St. Mungo's Parish Church is a Gothic church building in Alloa with a rectangular structure, low square towers, and a prominent spire. The building stands along Bedford Place and is recognized as a category B listed structure.
History
Architect James Gillespie Graham designed this church in 1819 after the previous building was found unsafe, leading the congregation to hold services outdoors for a time. The new structure was built to serve Alloa's growing community.
Culture
Inside you can see memorial stained glass windows that honour past ministers and congregation members, including scenes of the Good Shepherd and Gethsemane. These windows shape how light fills the prayer space and mark important moments in the community's life.
Practical
The church sits in central Alloa and is walkable from various parts of town. Visitors should know that service times vary, so checking current opening hours in advance is a good idea.
