OS 6" map (1971)
This roofless church was built as a successor to the original parish church of North Berwick (NT58NE 3.00). Building started in 1659, but was not completed until 1664. Situated within a burial ground, it consists of an orientated oblong nave with a central western tower. (This church, in turn, was replaced by the present parish church, built at NT 5458 8529 in 1861.)
RCAHMS 1924, visited 1913; G Hay 1957.
The remains of this church are generally as described.
Visited by OS (SFS) 19 August 1975.
The sundial at the SE angle of this church bears two dates: 1680 (though work started in 1659) and 1770. It is all of purple-brown rubble, but the more regular block-and-pin work and all the white stone dressings belong to the latter date, when the building was evidently re-modelled. The tower attached to the W gable also belongs to this second phase.
C McWilliam 1978.
