St Columba's York URC

The Scots Greys, stationed at Fulford barracks, used to march to St Columba's Presbyterian Church (as it was then known) led by officers mounted on grey horses; during the service the horses would be tethered to the railings outside. The Regiment even provided a grey horse for the minister to ride!! St Columba's has undergone some changes since then; for example, the church tower no longer exists. Drawings of the original building are on display inside.
The church retains its large balcony, pews and a Lewis organ fully restored in the 2000s. The three large pre-Raphaelite stained glass windows are best viewed from the front of the church.
Coffee and cake are on offer at the front of the church.
