Barony Saint John's Church
of Scotland, Arran Place 4 19
March 2006
The Barony Church opened in 1844. On 24 September 1987, a service in Saint John's
Church commemorated its closing and merger with the Barony Church to form Barony
Saint John's Church. In early 2010, there were safety concerns over the church
sanctuary and the church hall was used for services. Further safety concerns
about the hall resulted in the complete closure of the church. The last service
was held on 20 November 2011. For the next four Sundays, services were held
in the Parish Centre
of the Church of Saint Peter in
Chains. Thereafter, the congregation had the use of Saint
Andrew's Church. On 19 November 2013, Barony Saint John's Church merged
with New Trinity Church, Chapelwell Street, Saltcoats to form Ardrossan
and Saltcoats Kirkgate Parish Church.
