It was opened in 1761 and is still used for worship today by
a Church of Scotland congregation (Presbyterian). The spire was added in 1787 and is 140 feet
high. This shows the detail of a column
at the front of the church.
Greenock's Municipal Buildings are just across the street
and this is a view of the Victoria Tower from the church porch.
Joining InSPIREd Sunday - come and have a look at some other
churches from all over the world.
Those are wonderful detail shots of the column. :-)
