(NO 2645 9471) Church (NR) (In Ruins).
OS 6" map, Aberdeenshire, 2nd ed., (1903)
The church of Creythyn, or Crethy, was dedicated to St. Manir. It is first noticed in 1574 and again in 1606. Jervise states that the church belonged to the Abbey of Cambuskenneth but Scott says that it was owned by the Priory of Monymusk.
A Jervise 1875-9; H Scott 1915-61.
The remains of the church, built of random masonry with rubble infilling recently pointed, stand to gable height at the W end reducing to c.0.7m at the ends of the N and S walls. A modern burial enclosure obscures any trace there may be of the E wall. The enclosed space, which is taken up by gravestones, measures c.14.8m by c.5.4m. The walls are c.0.9m thick. Part of the S wall which incorporates a doorway, is modern.
Revised at 1/2500.
Visited by OS (R L) 24 October 1967.
