Hutchesontown Free Church Young Men’s Literary Society

Overview

Hutchesontown is an area to the south of the River Clyde and forms part of the Gorbals. (For more information about the area, see ‘Gorbals , Glasgow. Origins & History‘ on the ScotCities website.)

Members of this society were most likely part of the congregation of the Hutchesontown Free Church, located at 114 Eglinton Street, just down the street from the Eglinton United Presbyterian Church. (For more information on this church, see ‘Glasgow — Hutchesontown‘ on the Ecclegen website.)

There is little currently known about this society. The only information we have comes from the minute book of the Free Church Students’ Literary Association, wherein this group is mentioned.
