St Mungos

















 St Mungo's Pearson Street Townhead, the church was built in 1841 by the architect  George Goldie, modifications to the church were made in 1877,

The church was lucky to miss the slum clearances that took place in Townhead during the 50s and 60s.

The style of the church is Gothic Revival, the tower was never completed  and it does detract from the overall look of the church. The statue of Christ on the cross on the outside of the building is very striking.
