Archaeology Notes

NY18SW 110 c. 12 84

For successor churches, Dryfe, Old Parish Church (NY 1289 8383) and Lockerbie, Dryfesdale Parish Church (NY 1356 8185), see NY18SW 73 and NY18SW 18 respectively.

(Dryfesdale, Glasgow, Annandale). Recorded as one of the possessions of the see of Glasgow in the Glasgow Inquest c. 1120, the church was confirmed to the bishop of Glasgow by Pope Alexander III in 1170. Disputes, however, between bishops and the family of Bruce took place over certain churches in Annandale, and at a settlement c. 1187x89, the donation of this church was confirmed to the bishops of Glasgow. This was confirmed in 1216 by Pope Honorius III, the same Pope granting it in 1226 to the uses of the episcopal mensa of Glasgow with which, from 1230, the parsonage revenues remained, the cure being a vicarage perpetual. This was despite an offer of 1487 whereby the bishop of Glasgow had unsuccessfully offered to erect this mensal church into a cathedral prebend, if the prebend of Barlanark was assigned to the bishop and his successors in perpetuity.
