Scope and Content Exterior of Novar Aisle, Alness Parish Church, Alness, Highland Alness Parish Church was constructed in its present form in 1775, incorporating the 17th-century Novar Aisle and portions of medieval work. The Novar Aisle (facing) projects from the later church. The aisle was probably built in the 17th century as the burial place of the Novars of Munro. Burials inside churches were banned in 1581. Wealthy families got around this by converting disused religious structures into mausolea, by adding burial-aisles to churches, and, in the 17th century, by creating separate burial-enclosures.
