(NK 0931 5196) Church (NR)

OS 6" map, (1959)

1763, fragmentary; 19th-century mort-house; 1644 belfry on 1869 kirk.

G Hay 1957.

In 1616 the Kirk was opened for service about 2 miles to the W of the old structure (NK15SW 1) and at a higher elevation (Henderson 1907).

It was rebuilt in 1763 with a belfry at one end, the latter now incorporated in the present church built 1869-70 (Eeles and Clouston 1960).

J A Henderson 1907; F C Eeles and R W M Clouston 1960.

No trace of the earlier church. Three old stones set in the E gable of the modern church, which is still in use, bear the dates 1616, 1763 and 1869. The bell cote on the W gable bears the date 1644.

Visited by OS (AA) 16 January 1969.
