Scope and Content Detail of part of painted panel in St Mary's Parish Church, Marketgate, Crail, Fife Crail was created a royal burgh in 1310. St Mary's, a large aisled medieval church, has 12th-century origins, but dates mainly from when it became a collegiate church in 1517, with alterations in 1815, 1828 and 1963. This painted pine panel showing a navigator using an astrolabe lies in the chancel and was originally part of the Mariners' Loft. The lofts in the church which were used by members of the Town Council and Trades were removed in the 1963 restoration. Collegiate churches were endowed for the support of priests whose principal duty was to say masses for the souls of the founders and their families. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
