Falkirk: the Old Parish Church
The southern end of this church seems just to be in this gridsquare.
It is thought that a very early church on this site, perhaps eleventh century, may have given rise to the name Faw Kirk ('speckled church') – hence Falkirk. There has probably been a church on the site since four centuries earlier than that.
The square tower is a surviving feature of the building erected in 1450, while the octagonal bell tower was added in 1733. Around it, the main body of the church was rebuilt in 1811. The southern extension, which we see projecting towards us here, came a further 81 years later.
