Clifton Church is another "merged" church, formed (I believe) from Coats Church (where the congregation currently meet), Coatdyke Church and Trinity Church. I may have this information wrong and plan to check it.

On 28th October 2008 Clifton merged with St Andrews Parish Church to form New St Andrews Parish Church.

The church currently has four memorials. I can identify one as being from Coats Church and another as Trinity Parish Church and these have been posted that in separate threads. The other two I still need to identify. I believe these memorials are still in the Clifton building, but I expect they will be moved to the mergedchurch in the fullness of time.

Thanks to Morag McNay (my mother!) for these photographs.
