Site of Lathrisk Church and Grave Yard [Note] Lathrisk was the ancient name of this parish - (see quotation from Leightons Hist [History] on opposite page) "Church & Grave yard" usually written together.
After the church was transferred from Lathrisk to the village of Kettle the parish name was also changed from Lathrisk to that of Kettle, therefore the proper name of the church is Lathrisk Church. Although it is written chapel by the examiner yet there can be no doubt that it is the chapel noted in Leightons Hist of Fife. -see quotation.
