Scots Church, Woolwich, Kent
|
| |
| (still looking for a picture or photograph of Scots Church) |
| |
| It was a presbyterian church, located on the south-east corner of Powis Street and Green’s End (near to Woolwich Arsenal station and the old Royal Arsenal). Baptism records exist up to 1836 but I can find no reference after that date. |
| Some Hoggs were christened at Scots Church, especially
between 1800 and 1850. |
| POWIS STREET:
South side Nos 1–7 (with 12–17 Green’s End). In 1799–1800 a Presbyterian or ‘Scotch’ Church was established on the south-east corner site (Nos 1–5), angled to face Green’s End. Presbyterians are said to have had a continuous Woolwich presence since the Act of Uniformity of 1662. In the late eighteenth century links were made with the Church of Scotland, and the Rev. John Blythe led the move from Meeting House Lane to Powis Street. His successors shifted to a new building on the New Road in 1842. |
