The Episcopal chapel was built in 1883 by William Monagu Douglas Scott, 6th Duke of Buccleuch, to a design by architect James Burnet, who also designed the Langholm Library, the Mission Hall and various other local buildings. It stands in the grounds of the duke’s Langholm estate.

The chaplain from 1903 to 1917 was Rev Alderson Seaton, born in Southampton and previously an assistant at St Paul’s Anglican Church, Carlisle. His wife was Dora, the daughter of St Paul’s clergyman Rev William Strickland. He was a co-founder of the Langholm Tennis Club, opened in 1904.

The parsonage was Eskbank, built in 1890 for Wauchope Mill owner George Bowman who died two years later.

The organist for over 40 years was John Beattie, known as ‘Blind John’, who gave organ, piano, harmonium, singing and music theory lessons.

The church’s Roll of Honour of those who served in the Great War has 36 names: 18 served in the army and seven in the navy; in addition four were discharged through ill health and seven were killed in action. Those killed included John Scott in France on 15 November 1914; his younger brother James Scott on 25 September 1915, the first day of the Battle of Loos; and Hardy Grant in the Gallipoli campaign on 24 August 1915.

The church closed in 1996 and was temporarily the home of the Armstrong clan museum, now located in Gilnockie Tower, five miles south of Langholm.
