Scope and Content The interior of Currie Parish Church, Currie, Edinburgh Currie Parish Church, designed in 1784 by James Thompson of Leith, stands on the south bank of the Water of Leith on the site of an earlier church probably built in the early part of the 14th century, but whose origins date from the 12th century. The interior of the church was carefully recast by the architect David Bryce in 1835. A wooden gallery, supported by simple columns, extends round three sides. In 1835 the church charged 'seat rents', an annual fee for family use of a pew. It also issued communion tokens, small lead discs bearing the owners initials and date, given to parishioners who were 'of suitable age and instruction' to take communion.
