Statement of Interest

The site for the church was gifted by Alexander Crum and his

brother William in 1891, when a separate parish of

Thornliebank was set up from Eastwood. David Tod of

Eastwood Park was a trustee. This church became known as

Thornliebank Woodlands Parish Church in 1929, and was

united with the Thornliebank Spiersbridge Church of

Scotland as Thornliebank Parish Church in 1977. (The

Spiersbridge Church was later converted into a new hall

for the church.)
