I have been asked to put down on paper
my memories of Grange Church. This is more difficult than
at first thought but I will do my best. So what better way
than to start at the beginning.
I suppose the beginning for me was the Disruption in 1843
when my great grandmother walked out of the Parish Church
with the minister the Rev. William B. Cunningham and many
members of the congregation .
They met in the Malt Barns owned by Mr Hislop, Castlepark
who gifted the land upon which the Free Church was built.
In 1929 I remember when the congregation was asked to vote
regarding its future ie whether it wished to remain within
the United Free Church or "go back in" Although a few churches
up and down the country remained "Free" Prestonpans decided
to be reunited .
