Eastwood Parish Church (on the hill to the left), c 1830.
This church was built in 1781 to replace an earlier building which stood in the Old Cemetery to the west of Thornliebank Road. The Statistical Account of Scotland, 1791-1799 states that "it was removed from the neighbourhood of the manse, to a situation nearer to Pollok-shaws. It is now beautifully situated upon a rising ground above the village, and is one of the neatest country churches within the district." It was replaced by the current church in Mansewood Road, which was built 1862-1863.
This watercolour is one of a series painted by an unknown artist working for the Maxwell family. The paintings show buildings and landscapes on the Pollok Estate, which at that time was owned by the Maxwells.
