Gretna Old Church, Parish Church and Burial-ground NY 319 680 NY36NW 31

The present listed church, which in part may date from the 17th century, probably stands on or close to the site of its medieval predecessor, which is first mentioned in about 1170. A fragment of late-medieval window-moulding and what may be two similar fragments are built into the W wall. In 1609 the parishes of Gretna and Redkirk (NY36NW 5) were united.
