On the demolition of the original Church in 1845, new Trustees of the Established Church purchased Roxburgh Place Chapel in 1859. In 1862 the Presbytery approved its constitution as Lady Glenorchy's Parish Church, and in 1930 it became the 'South' Church in contradistinction to that in Leith Walk named the 'North'. In 1844 the remains of Lady Glenorchy were removed from the original church to the family vault in St John's burying ground, but in 1859 they were laid to rest in the South Church where a suitable vault had been built and where the marble tablet removed from the original Church was placed over the grave.
