OS 6" map (1969)
Nothing remained of Gladsmuir parish church in 1853 except a small enclosure, within which human bones had been found some years before, on the N side of three cottages named Old Gladsmuir Kirk which stood immediately to the E of the site of the church (Name Book 1853).
The church was built soon after 1650, when Gladsmuir was first created a parish and was in use until 1695 when it became ruinous and was succeeded by the church described on NT47SE 1. Its walls were later incorporated into nearby cottages.
