Background
History
St Vincent's has a complicated history. In 1842 an Episcopalian clergyman, Revd David Drummond, a curate at the then Holy Trinity Church, Dean Bridge, seceded from the Episcopal church, which he considered was becoming too Catholic, and founded a new Church of England church, St Thomas, Rutland Place. Around 1852 Drummond appointed an English clergyman, Richard Hibbs, as his curate, but in 1854 Hibbs left St Thomas's and built what is now St Vincent's Chapel, initially describing it as "Christ's English Episcopal Chapel". In 1875 St Vincent's Chapel was purchased by the lawyer and historian William Forbes Skene although an Evangelical, he considered that there was no reason to continue asβ¦
Description
The church comprises a nave and chancel, with a north aisle partly walled off from the nave. It contains many artefacts featuring the green cross of the Order of St Lazarus, in particular the heraldic windows (described as "admirably bright and clear") by Alexander Carrick Whalen from 1975. In 1981, the organ of 1889 by Thomas Christopher Lewis was installed in St Vincent's after being removed from Christ Church, Trinity on that church's closure. The current organ, a three manual Makin Westmoreland Sapphire, was installed on 21 July 2021, the gift of a member of the congregation.
