If you are interested in the early history of our church and congregation then please take a look at A 50 Years' Retrospect. This is a fascinating account of the first 50 years of our church beginning with the 'Disruption' in 1843. At 28 pages long you'll need to grab a coffee first!
During 1989-1990, major restoration work was carried out on the South Church building. A pamphlet was subsequently produced which describes this work and also the building's architecture. Take a look at Pilkington's Architectural Masterpiece to find out more.
In 1993 the South Church had its 150th anniversary. Various memorabilia were produced at this time which included tea towels, mugs and scaled pottery models of the South Church building. In addition, Mary Darling (a South Church elder) wrote an account of the early days of the South Church which can be found here. More history on the South Church may be found at www.psk.org.uk.
