THE Guild of one of the Church of Scotland’s two London churches may be small, but they are highly committed – and have adapted to changing times and circumstances.
The Guild of Crown Court Church in Covent Garden was founded in 1890 by Lady Frances Balfour (a Suffragette) and her sister Lady Victoria Campbell, daughters of the 8th Duke of Argyll, who also played a key role in raising funds for the current church building. Both sisters served as Guild President – at a time when the minister was generally President.
The Guild numbers three regular attenders with a fourth who acts as treasurer.
