Hope Park Church

skreid — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 15:15:36 +0000

The congregation has had a number of different homes since it was formed back in 1738, but the current building, pictured above, was built in 1865. Currently the church is undergoing refurbishment so the congregation have been moved once again, this time to Strathkinness Church for the duration of the rennovations.

The Chapel Organ

St Salvators Chapel, St Andrews, is a excellent example of Late Gothic architecture. Founded in 1450 the chapel has a long history.

Originally founded with a missionary as well as an educational function the chapel is still in use today for sunday services and many a wedding.

This is a shot taken from the front of the chapel looking backwards, it shows the ornate chapel organ which sits up on its own platform above the congregation at the rear of the chapel.

The Pulpit – Holy Trinity Church

A few days ago I went back into Holy Trinty Church to grab some more shots for their Website (http://www.holyt.co.uk). They’ve asked for a few specific images to put up on their site.

This is the first one I’ve finished processing for them. It shows the pulpit of the church. The organ pipes can also be seen in the back ground.

The Square Tower

Or St Rule’s tower to give it its proper name.

The tower is part of the church that was built in 1127AD to hold the relics of Saint Andrew, Saint Rule (aka Saint Regulus) is said to have brought the relics of Saint Andrew to the area. The tower is pretty much all that is left of the church and stands next to the ruins of St Andrews Cathedral.

This is the little square behind Holy Trinity Church in St Andrews.

The square contains the Public Library, straight ahead, (also the public toilets), The Dolls House resturant and tucked away in the corner is the Cafe in the Square, a really cool little cafe where you will find a friendly service and great food, and of course a few of my photos on the walls.

Lighting up the Church

Holy Trinity Church, the town church. Not the best weather for taking photos, cold, wet and windy. I did get a fair amount of curious looks getting this shot as I stood on the middle of the road, tripod et al, to grab this shot.

This is a really pretty church, especially when lit up at night.
