Scope and Content Romanesque doorway at Duddingston Parish Church, Old Church Lane, Duddingston Village, Edinburgh Duddingston Church, one of the oldest churches in Scotland still in regular use, was built on land gifted by King David I to the Abbot of Kelso in 1130. The basic structure of the church is Romanesque, with 17th- and 18th-century additions. This arched doorway, on the south wall, was the original entrance of the Romanesque church. The voussoirs or wedge-shaped stones forming the arch show a zigzag pattern. On the left side of the door is a carved figure of Christ on the cross. The original Romanesque church consisted of a nave, the central part of the church, and a chancel, the area near the altar, separated by a large chancel arch. The original entrance led directly into the nave from the south side. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
