Scope and Content View from east showing Parish Church and Churchyard, 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. The 13th-century western tower is topped by a 16th-century octagonal stone spire. The windows in the nave roof indicate the clerestory, which was lost during late 18th-century alterations. The chancel (right) contains fragments of the original church. 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.
