Denomination: Church of Scotland
Lanark St Nicholas Parish Church, with its beautiful stained glass windows, stands proudly at the foot of Lanark High Street at the cross.
The church was constructed in 1774. It is a 5 bay, 2 level rectangular Church with a tower. A major internal and external restoration took place in 1994/95 at the cost of £600,000, half of which was raised by the congregation. The fine Foster & Andrews of Hull pipe organ was restored to its original specification at the same time.
The Parish of St Nicholas covers half the town of Lanark and two outlying villages, Nemphlar to the west and New Lanark to the south. The area is mostly rural with many farms and small hamlets on the edge of the town. It is 25 miles from Glasgow and 30 miles from Edinburgh. The population of Lanark is around 8,855.
There are four primary schools namely Robert Owen Memorial Primary School, Lanark Primary School, St Mary’s RC Primary School and New Lanark Primary School. Lanark Grammar is the main Secondary School. The Manse is in the catchment area for Lanark Primary and Lanark Grammar Schools.
