St. David's Free Church

St David's Free Church, Alexandra Street, was built in the wake of the 'Disruption' in 1843. Prior to its construction the congregation, having sought religious freedom from the Established Church, worshiped in a tent erected in the field opposite from where St. David's U.F. church was built. The church was opened in May 1845. It is perhaps best known for its minister from 1878 to 1892, the Reverend William Patrick.
