Background
History
The congregation was established in January 1808, when Christopher Anderson, a young Edinburgh businessman, began evangelical work in the Pleasance area of the city. By 1816, his Pleasance church was too small, and he purchased Charlotte Chapel. The chapel was recently vacated by a Qualified congregation which had joined the Scottish Episcopal Church and then moved to St John's Church, on Princes Street. The original two-storey building seated 750 attendants. Anderson was pastor until 1851, and membership peaked at 232 in 1873, although many more attended services. Membership began to fall due mainly to emigration, and by 1901, the church had no minister and only a small congregation.…
Architecture
In 2013, the St George's West Church (Church of Scotland) closed the building. In May 2016, Charlotte Chapel moved to the redundant St. George's West Church at 58 Shandwick Place.
