Chalmers Memorial Church, on Backdykes, was built in 1889-1891, and consecrated in 1893. A large, ambitious Gothic-style church with a broach spire it was designed by a local architect, David Henry. It was originally called the Anstruther Free Church but renamed in honour of Dr Thomas Chalmers, founder of the Free Church of Scotland, who was born in the town.

Fishermen used its steeple as a prominent landmark.
