Place & story
Porch or gallery?
J. M. Magowan’s history describes discussions in 1869 about accommodating more worshippers. The congregation chose a porch rather than a gallery, removing an internal wall to extend the seating. William McNally carried out the building work. Additional seats, a door and stone finishing increased the final cost beyond his original estimate. [2]
