NT47NE 17 46179 79850
See also NT47NE 1.
(NT 4618 7985) Aberlady Parish Church: A 15th century rubble-built square tower adjoins the W end, with a set-in top storey and a slated pyramidal spire behind a corbelled parapet. The storey above the string course was later adapted as a dovecot, with flight holes in the slit window on the S side. Nothing can be seen of the Georgian church of 1773. On the N side it incorporated two burial aisles of late 16th and early 17th century date. These were duplicated on the S side in 1886 when the body of the church was completely recast by William Young, who also added twin porches to the N and S sides of the tower, and the session houses at the E end. (This church was doubtless originally built as a successor to St Mary's Chapel, which stood at NT 4614 7988 - see NT47NE 1).
