The architect was James Thomson, born 1867, who had his practice in Bo'ness, and it is thought to be his last work. The original intention was to build a cruciform church, but only the crossing was built, which partly explains its unusual appearance. The church was built in 1914-1915 for the Scottish Episcopal Church. In 1949 the Church of Scotland bought it, and it is now known as Blackness Mission Church. It's quite difficult to see well from St Ninians Way because of the surrounding trees. See also Image
