028.01 | This Chapel erected about the end of the 11th Century was presented to the monks of Kelso by John de Striveling in 1142. It was like the Chapel of Haliburton dedicated to St. Mary, seized by Edward I and restored to them after the Abbot of Kelso as well as the Abbot of Dryburgh had sworn fealty to King Edward at Berwick in 1296. It was destroyed during the descent of the Earl of Hertford in 1545 and not a single trace of this building is remaining. It was situated in front of the present farmhouse of Lambden, and surrounded by a Churchyard, which is now cultivated, where about 40 years ago, in levelling the ground, a number of stones with inscriptions (only here and there legible) have been found.__ [signed] |
