Standing Building Recording (25 October 2018 - 26 October 2018)
NT 49116 36062 A historic building survey was undertaken,
25–26 October 2018, of a former church and church hall
located at Gala Park prior to the demolition of the hall and
the renovation of the church.
St Aidans Church was constructed to a design by
R Thornton Shiells and Thomson (1879–80) and is a
fine example of an unaltered mid-Victorian Gothic style
building. It was built as a South United Presbyterian Church
at a cost of £5000. The brick-built church hall, which is
located to the SW of the church, dates to 1939 and was
designed by Lorimer and Matthew. Originally constructed
as a separate building, it was linked to the church in the
later 20th century.
