St James' United Reformed Church, Alnwick

  • Description

    Website of St James' United Reformed Church, Alnwick / St James's Church Centre. "....For most of the 300 years plus history of St. James’s was a Presbyterian Meeting house/ Church associated with the English Presbyterian tradition. The other two Alnwick Presbyterian churches Lisburn Street (founded in 1837) and Clayport (Founded in 1753) were offshoots of Scottish Synods. Lisburn street merged with St. James’s in 1888 and Clayport in 1955. In 1972 came the formation of the United Reformed Church when Churches of the Presbyterian and the Congregational Church of England and Wales tradition joined together...By the 1880-90’s the existing Church that had been extended and altered over the centuries was too small. A decision was taken to rebuild....new Church, on the existing site, was designed in 1883-4 by Hicks & Charlewood but dated 1894. The foundation stone was laid on the 17th Nov 1894 and the church was opened 1st Dec 1895...."
