History

The congregation was established in 1847 by Rev. William Scot Wilson, then rector of Holy Trinity in Ayr, to serve the English and Irish weavers in the area. There was no permanent church; the congregation met in a room on Abbot Street and were served by clergy from Girvan. [1]

In 1883, Wilson, who by then had been appointed Bishop of Glasgow and Galloway, agreed to the construction of a permanent church in 1883. [2] St Oswald's Church was completed the same year and consecrated by Bishop Wilson on 18 December 1883. [3]

St Oswald's Church contains one of the few remaining pipe organs in Maybole, manufactured in 1893 by Alfred Kirkland. [4]
