031.04 | According to Fullerton "Newton," prior to the 13th Cent. [Century] was a separate parish, and this is the remains of the Parish Church; And he Says that the parish of Nenthorn was formed by the manors of "Nathansthirn," & "Newton". the church of the former becoming the Ph. [Parish] Church and that of "Newton" continuing to be a "Chapel" and both previous to the parochial erection were Subordinate to the Church at "Ednam," they were both given by the Bishop of St. Andrew's to the Abbot of Kelso, in exchange for the church of Cranston in Mid-Lothian. The only remaining portion, is a doorway into a Small Aisle used by the "Don" family as their place of internment, the doorway which is at the east end (which is near it end) is not high, and is formed by a neat Saxon Arch which is in a good State of preservation. the site of the church cannot be distinctly traced, but the extent of the church-yard is quite visible and is surrounded by a row of very old Elms, but the greater number of them have been recently cut down. (I cannot find when the church was destroyed.) |
