The parish church of Forres was however dedicated to St. Laurence and apparently survived in its gothic form until 1775 (Cant, 1948, 7). A few surviving references to the church imply that the outside walls might have been twenty feet high and inside stone pillars supported the roof which might have in part at the end of the sixteenth century been slated (Douglas, 1934, 241). Its replacement built in 1775 was considered too small by the town council and had underwent numerous repairs. It was replaced in turn in 1906.
