Scottish Episcopal Church. According to the Vestry Minutes, the first services in Falkirk of the Episcopal Church of Scotland were held by the Rev C Hinxman, of St Andrews, Dunmore in Lent 1858 in a schoolroom in Bainsford. In July 1859 the Rev G Sutherland was appointed by the Bishop of Edinburgh to hold services in Wilson's Hall but this was discontinued in December 1860. Services resumed in summer 1861 by Rev Hill Smith of St Andrew's, Dunmore, continued by Rev W H Cave Brown of St Andrew's, Dunmore, meeting in Wilson's Hall. The building was erected in 1863-64 and consecrated on 13th April 1864. William Forbes of Callendar provided the feu and with his wife presented the Communion Plate and his son presented the Altar Cloth. Following an appeal in April 1862, about one hundred people promised to support the building of an Episcopal Church for Falkirk. The land was given by William Forbes of Callendar House, Falkirk and the foundation stone was laid on 18th May 1863. Sir Robert Rowan Anderson, a leading Scottish architect of the nineteenth century – who was also an Episcopalian – designed the Church. The building is large enough to seat 120 comfortably but small and compact in design, thus not a huge drain on financial resources. The Church was consecrated on 13th April 1864, having cost £1,350
