Alloa St Mungo’s Parish Church
Clackmannanshire
Designed by James Gillespie Graham to replace the old parish church in Kirkgate, this Late Georgian building is a large, ornate, battlemented rectangle with a five-bay north elevation. It has an impressive 207ft high spire, its corners clasped by flying buttresses with crocketed pinnacles. External additions were made in 1966-7 by Leslie Grahame Thomson. The interior was also much altered by the same architect, who removed the galleries and added the panelled wood ceiling in 1936-7, as well as designing the pulpit, lectern, font and oak pews. In 1966-7 he also created a new west chancel.
The interesting stained glass is of late 19th and 20th century date, and includes work by William Meikle & Sons (1901), A L Moore & Co. (1901), John Blyth (1991) and a WWII memorial window by William Wilson (1951-2). The Congregation celebrated the bicentenary of the building in June 2019, having completed a two-year conservation, restoration and facilities enhancement programme. A new commemorative stained glass window was also installed at that time.
