Chancel Window History
The window was gifted to the church by Mr and Mrs Robert McDougall, at one time well known confectioners in the town, and very active members of the church. The gift was made on the condition that the donors remained anonymous for a period of ten years. The window,which was made by Douglas Hamilton, was dedicated on Sunday, 7th October, 1939. In 1999 it was completely refurbished and restored by specialist glaziers, McKee of Paisley and at the same time the mullions were repaired.
CHANCEL WINDOW
The window depicts a familiar scene from the Gospel where Jesus is seen holding a baby while gesturing towards a mother who is kneeling as she offers her child to him. The words "Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven" is written underneath.
