St Margaret's Episcopal Church, Lochee
Dundee
St Margarets Episcopal Church has been an integral part of the community in Lochee and Ancrum Road for over 150 years. The church has provided pastoral and spiritual care for local residents throughout difficult periods in history, including two world wars, the depression and the decline of the jute industry. It has been strongly associated with the mill workers of Lochee including those working in Cox’s Mill and was a hub of community activity offering a huge range of clubs and societies to people living in the area over many years. It continues to be a centre of Christian worship, offering a caring supportive space for those who seek it.
Visitors will hear stories from previous generations highlighting how communities were supported during challenging times in the past. There will be information on how the church is responding to current environmental, technological and social pressures on communities, to continue to support people and remain a presence in the future.
