| St Michael's and All Saints |
|---|
St. Michael & All Saints is a church on the corner of Brougham Street and Panmure Place in the Tollcross area of Edinburgh, Scotland designed by prominent Scottish architect Robert Rowan Anderson.
The church is unusual for a grouping of eccliastical buildings in that the congregation returned to Anderson for all alterations and additions made to the church from a construction standpoint.
Anderson was also responsible for design of the McEwan Hall, the Edinburgh Medical School on Teviot Place and the National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh - significantly, the design of St. Michaels pre-dates these other designs by the architect.
Today, the parsonage of the church is Cloisters Bar, devoted not to religion, but to real ale, craft beers and bar meals.
Construction & Points of Interest
[edit]Construction of the church began around 1874; 4 years later, in 1878, the "New Clergy House" or "Rectory" was built - it is this building that houses Cloisters Bar today.
Above the entrance to Cloisters Bar reads the inscription "All Saints Parsonage", a clear reference to the fact that this building was home to the parson of the adjoining church.
