Scope and Content Drawings of St Mary's Parish Church, Monymusk, Aberdeenshire In 1170 Gilchrist, Earl of Mar, established a community of Augustinian canons at Monymusk. The present church, although mainly modern, incorporates two principal features of the Augustinian priory-church: the west tower and the chancel arch. From left to right on the side elevation are the tower, the nave and the chancel. The front elevation shows the 1822 north addition to the left of the tower. The chancel arch is of typical 12th-century style. Monymusk preserves the basic layout of many 12th-century churches, comprising a western tower, a nave and chancel. However, the original chancel was much longer. The crenellations on the tower were added in the 19th century. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
