    PPaarriisshh PPrrooffiillee Polbeth Harwood linked with West Kirk of Calder “Growing in faith and sharing our faith in God with the world around us to make way for Jesus in our community” Polbeth Harwood Church Chapelton Terrace Polbeth EH55 8SH West Kirk of Calder West End West Calder EH55 8EN Introduction The history of West Kirk goes as far back as Reformation times when the community of West Calder grew up around its kirk. The current traditionally Victorian church building was first open for worship in 1880 replacing the original kirk, the ruins of which still stand just behind the main street in the village. Polbeth Harwood congregation have recently celebrated 50 years of witness and worship in their more modern suite of sanctuary, hall and rooms –all paid for by community funding - in a position designed to be a focus of community life in the village. The linkage between the two churches was formed in 2003 and both Sessions are now actively discussing a closer working relationship with the exciting possibility of even closer involvement under the visionary leadership of a new minister. Whilst the West Kirk congregation are proud of their long past history, the Sessions hold the view that together the congregations are stronger and, with faith, more able to meet the challenges facing the Church and where and how God wants us to serve him in the 21st century. We seek a minister who can encourage us, nourish our faith and lead us in the direction God has mapped out for us as his servants. The two churches are only over a mile apart, both situated on A71.

The remainder of the Record down to 31st December 1829 is in the General Register House, but from that date to the present day it will be found at the Commissary Office. The Register for the Eighteenth Century shows a considerable falling away in the number of Testaments recorded, due to some extent to the Local Registers being more taken advantage of On the other hand, a number of Testaments of Scotsmen dying in England, the Colonies, and abroad are to be found. The Register for the years following on the Union of the Parliaments is one of melancholy interest, containing as it does, to a certain extent, the death-roll of the ill-fated Darien Expedition.

The CCPSDF set out three key development principles based on reconciling the needs of the historic environment with contemporary users, optimising the site’s potential through retail-led mixed uses and creating a high quality built environment and public realm. It is not for this development brief to repeat these principles but to further develop them to respond to this area of the framework, known as Block 10. 1.2 The purpose of the development brief is to set out the main planning and development principles on which development proposals for the area should be based. The development brief will be a material consideration in the determination of planning applications that come forward for the area. 2.0 Site and context The Site 2.1 The development brief area is situated at the eastern end of the city centre and is the least typical of all the development blocks within the CCPSDF area.
