There has been a Church on these grounds at Larbert Cross since the 12th Century. The present iconic building which was designed by the celebrated architect David Hamilton was built in 1820 and replaced the previous Church which stood in the adjacent church yard which dated to the first half of the 16th Century.
For Doors Open Days Geoff Bailey will be leading tours around the famous graveyard from 11am – 3pm. The churchyard at Larbert is one of the largest in the Falkirk district, having been extended several times in the 18th and 19th centuries. In its latter form it was dominated by the presence of the Carron Company, which was one of the major factors in the massive increase in the population of the parish and which contributed greatly to its wealth. This is reflected in the lavishness and variety of the later monuments and in the extensive use of iron for grave markers and for plot boundaries. Amongst the latter are some of the oldest cast iron railings in the world.
The Graveyard has limited wheelchair access.
