New life for iconic church in Edinburgh
One of Edinburgh’s most iconic church buildings, the former St George’s West in Shandwick Place, has re-opened as the new home of Charlotte Chapel (a Baptist church).
The Grade A listed building has just completed a £2 million internal facelift bringing new life to this important West End landmark.
Charlotte moves on
One of Edinburgh’s oldest and largest churches, Charlotte Chapel, is about to move premises.
On 13 March around 800 people gathered in a service of thanksgiving for the 200+ years the church has enjoyed in Edinburgh’s city centre. Based at 204 Rose Street, it will shortly transfer to a much larger building (the former St George’s West in Shandwick Place) to provide more space for its Sunday services and busy church programme. The congregation raised £1.55 million for the purchase of St George’s West and has invested £1.9 million on its refurbishment.
