Their first church was opened the following year (1844) on the corner of West Quality Street and Fitzroy Street. By 1874 the congregation had outgrown the building and a new church was constructed in the West Port. The old church was sold, and by 1890 had become a Masonic Lodge. In the north transept of the new church there is a mural, uncovered in 2004, believed to have been painted by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1901. Following the union between the Free and United Presbyterian churches in 1900 it became known as St. Serf’s United Free. In 1929 the congregation re-joined the Church of Scotland, and in 1972 they merged with the Barony Church to become Dysart Parish Church- using the building in the West Port. In 2012 there was a union between the congregations of Dysart and Viewforth, and the resulting church is known as Dysart St Clair Parish Church, still based in the church in the West Port. 1870 tt27@st-andrews.ac.uk Site 106 18/06/2021 10/05/2023 03:44:03 pm (1) William Ewing, Annals of the Free Church of Scotland, 1843-1900 (Edinburgh, 1914), ii, p. 144. cm x cm x cm current,56.125581555069644,-3.1249523158476227; Building 219 Church of Scotland,Free Church true Kirkcaldy and Dysart St Clair Parish Church, West Port, Dysart TEXT
