Statement of Interest

Ecclesiastical building in use as such. Re-built in 1824 on

site of 1792 church which replaced earlier building sited in

old burial ground in centre of burgh (also close to High

Street). Gate piers similar to pair at old burial ground,

from where they were probably removed for re-use.
