The new Archbishop of Glasgow, William Nolan, chose the Anderston-based chapel murder house over a nine-bed mansion.
A senior cleric has turned down living in a £1million nine-bedroom mansion for a chapel house that was at the centre of one of Scotland’s most sickening murders. The new Archbishop of Glasgow, William Nolan, could have moved into the 118-year-old arts and crafts mansion, The Oaks, in the plush suburb of Newlands.
While church insiders claim Archbishop Nolan is aware of the history, they said he simply wants to be closer to the Archdiocese offices at St Andrew’s Cathedral. “Archbishop Nolan also has responsibility for the church’s Justice and Peace portfolio, so he’s a regular attender at demonstrations at places like the Dungavel Immigration Removal Centre in Lanarkshire and the Faslane naval base on the Clyde.”
