Comments

The former St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Woolsthorpe closed many years ago, and the property was sold. The church building was erected in 1883. The church was rebuilt in 1922, but the reasons for the need to rebuild are not known. It is believed the first minister was the Rev James Dalrymple in 1853 and the last Minister, the Rev Andrew Slater in 1983. More historical information/photographs on the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 30/03/2016
