All Hallows Church
Description: Virtual reconstruction of All Hallows Church (Inchinnan), built in 1900 and demolished in 1965 to allow the extension of the airfield at Abbotsinch.

Some of them can be found on Canmore: https://canmore.org.uk/site/43063/inchinnan-old-parish-church-and-graveyard Most of the stained windows originally from All Hallows are now at Inchinnan Parish Church. These were used on the virtual reconstruction, as well as a number of historical drawings of the missing windows. You can find more information about the stained glass windows at IHIG’s website: https://myinchinnan.org.uk/stained-glass/ This is a second version of this model, which was updated to add new details based on historical documentation, as well as annotations and clearer images of the stained glass windows.
