St Silas' English Church

The church was founded as an Anglican chapel in Scotland in 1864, due to concerns about the Oxford Movement's sway on the Scottish Episcopal Church. Despite this, it remained independent from the denomination. It became the last of 11 Anglican churches, at their height, to join The Scottish Episcopal Church in 1982. The church then left the denomination in 2019, following their perception that the denomination had departed from the authoritative teachings of the Bible. Following this decision, the Church joined the Anglican Convocation in Europe (ACE), a diocese of the Anglican Network in Europe (ANiE).

The land was bought by Archibald Campbell (the father of Archibald Campbell, 1st Baron Blythswood), George Burns and William Burnley, and the building was designed by John Honeyman (architect), who later worked alongside Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Minor alterations were made in 1907-08 during the time that Mackintosh worked with Honeyman. Sculptor Thomas Earp An extension was added to the building in 2005 by Wellwood Leslie Architects, comprising a contemporary church hall, meeting rooms and office space over two levels.
