The North Parish was one of six created in March 1828 when the single parish of St Nicholas was divided to cater for the needs of Aberdeen's growing population.
An impressive new church was built for the North Parish at the junction of King Street and Queen Street. It was designed by John Smith and was modelled on St Pancras Church in London. Today the building serves as the City Arts Centre.
