Church Overview

An ecclesiastical building in use as such. Rhu and Shandon Parish Church, the 3rd to be rebuilt on this site, was designed in 1851 by William Spense. The money for the building of the Church came from Robert Napier of West Shandon and Sir James Colquhoun of Rossdhu. In 1891 Honeyman and Keppie lengthened the nave but preserved Spense’s original front. The Church was further added to in the 1930’s with a vestry to the west and additions to the east. The interior was reorganised from 1903-12. The bell dates from 1851 and was gifted by Robert Napier.
