Scope and Content John Duff mural monument, St Mary's Collegiate Church, Cullen, Banffshire Already a parish church, St Mary's became collegiate in 1543. Collegiate churches had benefactors, in this case Sir Alexander Ogilvie, who supported priests whose principal duty was to say masses for the souls of their founders and their families. This monument is in the south transept and commemorates John Duff who died in 1539. A recumbent figure is on the top of the tomb. On the front of the tomb are two carvings of knights on horseback; in the recess above there is a third, larger one. The nave and west part of the chancel survive from the original rectangular parish church. The south transept, added in 1536, was endowed by Elena Hay. In 1543 the chancel was lengthened and the north transept was added in 1792. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
