Preston Church, its original name, was built in 1596 and was one of the first kirks built after the Reformation in Scotland. After the amalgamation of Preston and Grange Congregations, the church was renamed Prestongrange Parish Church. The Coronation Gardens were opened in 1953 to celebrate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II (1st of the United Kingdom.)
