The Ramsey congregation of the Presbyterian Church in the early 19th Century would appear to have been independent of those in Douglas. Around 1829 they petitioned the Wigtown Presbytery for help in the foundation of a church to accommodate 230 persons.

This was opened in 1837 though there were significant breaks in the provision of a full time pastor. This church was replaced in 1886 by the present building and became a Temperance Hall and then a community building (Quine's Hall). Today the building is home to the Ramsey Heritage Centre.
