Scope and Content Ceiling moulding, 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. This is the moulded ceiling of the north arm of the church, originally the Novar Aisle, probably built in the 17thc 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.
