Glasgow Cathedral, dedicated to St Mungo, is roughly situated where Mungo's original church once stood. The present building dates back to the 12th century. Today, the Cathedral sits immediately outside of Townhead's boundaries and falls into the <a href="/wiki/Ladywell" title="Ladywell">Ladywell</a> area. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Provand%27s_Lordship" title="Provand's Lordship">Provand's Lordship</a>, Glasgow's oldest remaining house, was constructed from the late 15th century by Bishop Andrew, later given the surname Muirhead as part of St Nicholas Hospital, a lodging for the poor. The hospital, or more accurately hospitium, provided accommodation and care for twelve poor men who contributed through work in the hospital, Bible study and growing produce in the gardens. The gardens were restored in 1997 and, like the original St Nicolas garden, the herbs grown are those known for healing properties and medicinal use. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Martyrdom" class="mw-redirect" title="Martyrdom">martyrdom</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Covenanter" class="mw-redirect" title="Covenanter">Covenanters</a> took place in the modern area called Townhead. The northern part of Castle Street was the town limits beyond which was called the "Howgait". Howgait was the scene of public hangings and used until 1781, when they moved to Glasgow Green. The area is now mainly taken up by Junction 15 of the M8. </p><p>The former <a href="/w/index.php?title=Martyrs%27_Church&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Martyrs' Church (page does not exist)">Martyrs' Church</a> building (moved to its current location in 1975 and then closed by members vote in 2011) contained until September 2013 the Martyrs stone, which details the executions in 1684 of James Nisbet (a farmer from Louden Parish in Ayrshire), James Lawson and Alex Wood. The stone, which originally stood in front of Townhead library, along with a large part of the once densely packed Townhead, was demolished to make way for the M8 motorway. The stone can now be found in the church wall of "The Evangelical Church" which is at the South East side of Cathedral square. Martyrs church also contained the "Martyrs church bell", which was preserved from the old Martyrs West church building until 2013 at which point, finding no new home, the bell was melted. The church of Scotland is currently seeking a buyer for the land which has planning permission for an extensive housing development and community building. </p><p>The Church of Scotland still supporting Townhead through the parish ministry of Glasgow Cathedral and by giving temporary accommodation to <a href="/wiki/SIMY" title="SIMY">SIMY</a> Community Development charity which was formally an active part of the previous church's parish care. Since closure, SIMY has become an independent, local volunteer lead charity providing youth work support, arts provision, sports coaching, life skills, outdoor education, drop in diversionary clubs and is a DofE centre. SiMY owes its survival to the support it receives from the Church, Iona Community, Townhead community council, AplusM training, Glasgow Housing Association, Glasgow Community Safety Services, Glasgow Life and a dedicated group of volunteers many of whom have grown up in the local area or work nearby. </p><p>St Mungo's Church, Parson Street (George Goldie, 1869) is Italiante-Gothic in style. 70 Parson Street is the birthplace of architect <a href="/wiki/Charles_Rennie_MacIntosh" class="mw-redirect" title="Charles Rennie MacIntosh">Charles Rennie MacIntosh</a>, who also aided in the design of Martyr's School, at 17 Parson Street. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Mid_20th_century_to_present:_slum_clearance,_gentrification_and_regeneration"><span id="Mid_20th_century_to_present:_slum_clearance.2C_gentrification_and_regeneration"></span>Mid 20th century to present: slum clearance, gentrification and regeneration</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Townhead&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Mid 20th century to present: slum clearance, gentrification and regeneration"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In line with post-war <a href="/wiki/Gentrification" title="Gentrification">gentrification</a> going on in Glasgow at the time, and in line with recommendations from the <a href="/wiki/Bruce_Report" title="Bruce Report">Bruce Report</a>, and the wider trend towards <a href="/wiki/Slum_clearance_in_the_United_Kingdom" title="Slum clearance in the United Kingdom">slum clearance</a> the mid 1950s onward saw great change in Townhead.

While some Townhead residents were rehomed in the new buildings, others were moved to new estates on the outer fringes of the city. As a result, almost none of the tenements in Townhead have survived, although some of the original street names live on in the names of the tower blocks and footpaths. North of Parliamentary Road, the cleared area was devoted to a new industrial zone, which stretched towards Baird Street with the new <a href="/wiki/Glasgow_Inner_Ring_Road" title="Glasgow Inner Ring Road">Glasgow Inner Ring Road</a> acting as its boundary, and comprised mainly new industrial units. The controversial eastern flank of the ring road, which would have swung southwards along the route of Castle Street and necessitated the demolition and rebuilding of <a href="/wiki/Glasgow_Royal_Infirmary" title="Glasgow Royal Infirmary">Glasgow Royal Infirmary</a>, was abandoned and the original Victorian hospital was given an indefinite stay of execution (although the hospital was substantially expanded in the late 1970s).

It will also remove the only indoor sports courts still available to the public and community groups in the G4 / South G21 area. </p><p>SiMY's silver DofE groups were working to improve the environment around the form Martyrs church building aesthetically as well as making it a useful place for them once the building is demolished. They were unsuccessful in their submitted plan for "stalled spaces" project as the General trustees of the church of Scotland were concerns that any work could hamper sale of the land. The DofE's group plans were supported by the "Townhead and Ladywell Community Council" and so are seeking advice from Glasgow Planning about possibilities. </p><p>The Martyrs stone was moved on 12 September 2013 to the Glasgow Evangelical Church in Cathedral square by Glasgow City Council at the request of the Glasgow Evangelical Church and the Scottish Covenanter Memorials Association to Cathedral Square, a historical centre of Glasgow, where it can be seen by Glaswegians and tourists. </p><p>The Townhead Village Hall opened in 2013 and provides for social activities and services for the Townhead community. The building and the land on which it has been built is owned by a community led company. With the recent changes preventing school lets in St Mungos School, the Village Hall is now the only facilities with space for community activities and functions. The hall is in use every day and evening providing vital services to the local community and private function space Thursday – Sunday. In Nov 2013 the village hall opened their Townhead Orchard providing a green space for local residence to enjoy gardening and tree maintenance under the supervision of centre staff during opening hours.
