History & Refurbishment
. . . .
Muckhart Church has been part of the community since the 16th Century
. . . .
The earliest documented church was in 1560, which was on the site of the current church and today's building incorporates some stone from the previous church. The United Parishes (Scotland) Act of 1876, required that a School had to be at the centre of a Parish, therefore Muckhart Primary School lies over half a mile West of the outer edge of Muckhart village.
The church that stands today was built in 1838 and is a 'B' listed building. In 2013, the church celebrated its 175th Anniversary of the Building.
The last major development, prior to the 2014 refurbishment, was around 1927, when a new entrance was added and a 'Session Room' and toilet.
1987 - Muckhart Church joins a linkeage, "Dollar, linked with Glendevon linked with Muckhart".
2002 - Muckhart original manse is sold,
as the manse needed a significant amount of repairs to the roof and internal upgrading it is necessary to sell the manse. With sale proceeds, Muckhart Church is granted permission, to build new accomadation in the Glebe Field for the then, Associate Minister. the house is named "Glebe House".
2014 - full refurbishment and modernisation, sale proceeds allow upgrading to meet disabled access and facility requirements, at the same time eradicating wet and dry rot issues throughout the flooring, pews and pulpit
2019 - Roof Repairs, funded through various grants, donations and some left over sale proceeds, work continues on the gable end, coping stones, gutters
