Church of the Week
Tundergarth, Dumfries & Galloway
Our Church of the Week is Tundergarth Church, located to the east of Lockerbie in Scotland. This beautiful building is a place of pilgrimage and prayer for those impacted by the largest terrorist attack in the UK. When the terrorist bombing of Pan American flight 103 occurred on 21 December 1988, the plane crashed in the field opposite the church. The church was used as a staging post for the police and military, who searched 845 square miles of surrounding countryside for the bodies of passengers and crew, and wreckage and clues. The church's work to remember the victims of the bombing was recognised earlier this year as they won the Open for Visitors Award at the National Church Awards.
