Post-1900 Churches

Post-1900 Churches  

The twentieth century saw the closure of many places of worship in Fife. Nevertheless, some new churches continued be built. Sometimes this was because of the changing requirements of an existing congregation. Other new buildings reflected the arrival of different denominations or the development of additional residential areas. A wide range of architectural styles have been used for churches since 1900.
