Scope and Content Section showing central arch of St Rule's Church, St Andrews, Fife St Rule's (or St Regulus') Church dates from the 11th or 12th centuries, and was the first church of the Augustinian Priory. Scholars have not reached agreement on the period of its foundation, though recent work argues strongly for an 11th-century date. This shows the tower, with traces of the original roofs, and the central arch from the east. If the 12th-century east arch (not shown) is a later insertion, then the features shown here probably date from the 11th century. Historical evidence suggests that St Rule's was extended, rather than built, by Bishop Robert after his consecration in 1127, and that the church was already important enough to contain royal burials.
