Forres Episcopal Church History The history of the Episcopal Church in Forres is fragmentary but there are some glimpses into its history within a few sources. A Meeting House is recorded have been in use in 1708 when Mr William Falconer, late minister of Dyke was noted in the Burgh minutes, and which went out of use in 1715. In 1724 a John Squyre was minister. In the 1730’s there was a Meeting House at the farm of Lockehills or Lochyhills, just outside the town. A Chapel was in Forres in 1742 when a Mr Hugh Innes was recorded in the Session Record of Forres dated 24 December that he ‘preaches statedly in Town, and Baptizes the children of persons, though he is not qualified in terms of Law.’ It was sited near Anderson’s Institute (school) but was destroyed in the Jacobite rebellion of 1745. Although some kind of services are noted to have continued in the town including that in 1774 which was recorded in the diary of Elizabeth Rose of Kilravock it was not until 1841 that an Episcopal Church was built in Forres. The Church was built with money raised by David Low Bishop of Ross, Argyll and the Isles who had been consecrated a Bishop in 1819 and would later become Bishop of Moray. Built in an Italian Style it was designed by Patrick Wilson of Edinburgh and refitted in 1844. In 1868 a school was added to the rear, which closed in 1926.
