Church, Birseslees (Site).
Nothing is left of this church, which stood in the graveyard still seen 500 yds. E. of Birseslees. The oldest tombstone is
dated 1734.
This was the church of Longnewton Parish, which was annexed to Ancrum at the end of the 17th century. It first comes on record in 1220 (Register of Glasgow, 98). There had previously been a chapel here, the property of Dryburgh Abbey since 1170 (Registrum de Dryburgh, 41 ff).
