Wider World
Glasgow, 1751
Built by William Paull and Andrew Hunter (masons) and Thomas Thomson (wright). St Andrew's-by-the-Green was built after the second Jacobite Rebellion as a licensed Episcopal chapel. Internally, a galleried chapel, the outside is similar to villas being built in Glasgow at the time. The first service took place on 17 September 1752.
The widely travelled Bishop Richard Pococke paid a visit to Glasgow in 1760, and wrote after attending services at St Andrew’s Episcopal Chapel that, they performed divine service in a most decent and solemn manner, chanting the hymns and singing the psalms extremely well, insomuch as I think I never saw divine offices performed with such real edification.
In 1775 St Andrew's installed the first pipe organ used in a church in Glasgow since the Reformation, thereby gaining the name, the whistlin' kirk (now the name given to its closest pub).
In its day St Andrew's attracted a large and influential congregation, with local aristocrats travelling some miles by carriage to attend. It ceased to be used for services in the 1970s.
Quite like the tree shadows.
