The Orthodox Community of Saint Andrews History

Originally, the Church of St Leonard (the patron saint of prisoners and, sometimes pilgrims) was simply the chapel of a hospital or hospice. It was located within the St Andrews priory precinct and was maintained by the Culdees (Celtic clergy who, in St Andrews, worked and worshipped during the period from early 12th to the 14th century). Eventually the lands with which the hospital was endowed became part of a distinct parish and, by 1413, the chapel – now a church – assumed the status of a parish church.

When pilgrimages became less popular, the hospital was converted into an almshouse for old women. When this did not prove a success, the Archbishop of St Andrews, Alexander Stewart, in association with the Prior, John Hepburn, turned it into ‘the College of Poor Clerks of the Church of S.Andrew’ in 1512 (confirmed by King James IV in 1513). Before long, the cumbersome title was superseded by ‘College of S.Leonard’. The church served the students as college chapel and the tenants of the college lands as parish church. At services, the former occupied the choir and the latter the nave.

After the Reformation in 1560, St Leonard’s College lost its monastic character and became an arts college, in many ways similar to St Salvator’s College. But its close association with its parish remained and, in 1578, its Principal was authorised to act as parish minister.

During the 18th century, when student numbers dropped appreciably and there was evidence of conflicting political loyalties within the colleges, it was finally decided to form a union – the United College of S.Salvator and S.Leonard in 1747. The next year the United College buildings were centralised on the buildings of S.Salvator. The buildings of S.Leonard were sold, only the church being retained. In 1759 it was decided to remove its congregation to St Salvators College Chapel that was appropriately adapted. From 1761 to 1904 the congregation of St Leonard’s worshipped with the students.

The Church of S.Leonard became ruinous, its roof was removed, its bell-tower demolished and the bell, Elizabeth, transferred to St Salvator’s Tower, where it hangs to this day. Now known as St Leonard’s Chapel, its restoration began in 1910 when it was re-roofed and reglazed. In 1948 further work including furnishing was carried out to form what is in fact an early 16th century church building.
