C0046 · Corporate body · 1863 -

An Episcopalian congregation began worshipping in Dollar in 1863, using Tait House of Dollar Academy to hold services before being granted the use of the Free Church on Sunday afternoons. In 1864, the congregation moved to the Atheneum and remained there until 1882 when St James the Great Episcopal Church was consecrated.

The plans for the church were prepared by Alloa architect Thomas Frame and Son and the task of construction was given to a group of contractors from Alloa and Stirling. Construction began in the autumn of 1879 but soon halted due to the main gable being destroyed during what is known as the “Tay Bridge Storm”. Financial difficulty prevented construction from continuing but the congregation managed to gather the necessary funds and the church was completed in 1882 with the Vestry being added in 1934. The Church was built in an early English style of architecture and was intended to accommodate 300 people, costing a total of £2000.

On Thursday 06 July 1882, a ceremony was held for the consecration of the church, in which the deeds of the church were handed to Bishop Wordsworth. Following the ceremony, the congregation enjoyed a luncheon before an evening of singing and dancing.
