Knox Church

Knox Church was built as a place for the Presbyterian congregation among the founding families of Beguile to come together and pray.

Staunch believers, they survived the wave of itinerant preachers and even the construction of the much grander Catholic Church,  St Sebastian’s. 

Humble and stark,  Knox Church doesn’t reflect the wealth and extravagance of its members but instead serves as a place of devotion. Minister Tom has resided over the proceedings in the church for the last twenty five years with no sign yet of retiring.  In recent years a younger minister called Martin has assisted in the daily running of the church with the blessing of the Elders of the congregation. 

The church itself was built using wood and stones from the surrounding areas of Beguile. The pews each have a small letter carved into them representing the founding Elders. 

One of the founding Elders of Knox Church and the first serving Minister of the congregation, Tovey Sinclair, is said to still attend Sunday Services despite being deceased for almost ninety years. The Sinclair pew is always left with a space to accomodate the spectral minister who has been known to appear at times when a grieving, wanton or forlorn member of the congregation requires some extra assurance or guidance.
