A handsome Gothic building, completed in 1876, in response to the needs of a growing community, and as an extension of the Old Parish Church in the Broadgate, the West Parish Church was described as being situated, 'among the green fields high on a slope on the edge of the town'. It is now situated in the middle of a traffic island, the Hexagon, which owing to the continued expansion of the burgh is now considered to be a town centre location.
