history
In 1825 was in St Andrews at the North Street one the Apostle Andrew ordained Episcopal chapel consecrated . After the chapel, designed for 220 people, proved to be too small for the growing community in 1860, it was sold to the Free Church of Scotland , which had the building demolished and moved to Buckhaven . The property on Queen's Terrace, which is still in use today, was acquired. The new church there was consecrated in 1869. When this building again proved to be too small at the turn of the century, today's All Saints Church was built by 1907. The English architect John Douglas is responsible for the design . The church was expanded from 1920 based on a design by Paul Waterhouse . The first mass was read there on November 1, 1923.
