ST ANDREWÂ’S CHURCH, Gibraltar

Displayed:   times.

Throughout the 150 years since it opened, there has been a Presbyterian presence in Gibraltar. In the mid nineteenth century, Scottish regiments were an integral part of the British army presence on the rock, but official indifference prevented those posted to Gibraltar practising their own religious tradition. In the 1840s a group of ex-patriate Scots began the fundraising which resulted in the opening of St Andrew's Church on May 30th 1854. Its distinctive tower looks down from the south end of Governor's Parade, and inside the sanctuary, plaques and furnishings bear the insignia of the services who worshipped there. A striking set of stained glass windows dating from 1953 surround the chancel area. The church is open to visitors on weekdays from 11am-1pm. Sunday worship is at 1030am.
