Alloa St Mungo’s Parish Church

Clackmannanshire

In Person

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. The interior was much altered in 1936-7 by the architect Leslie Grahame Thomson,  who removed the galleries and added the panelled wood ceiling, as well as designing the pulpit, lectern, font and oak pews. In 1966-7 he also created a new west chancel and external additions. .

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. 

St Mungo's is, unfortunately, scheduled to close early in 2027, due to the impending merger with Ludgate Church; this is the last time that it will be possible to visit it as the parish church and as part of the Doors Open Days event, so please do not miss the opportunity to see the interior of this fine church.
