| CHURCH (St Mary's A.D. 130:0) | Church (In Roman Print) (St Mary's) In German Text (AD 1500) |
Revd [Reverend] J Stevenson, Minister David Robertson, Ladykirk Chalmers Caledonia |
023.07 | The church is situated nearly in the centre of the Parish, about 1 1/2 mile from each extremity. It is built in the form of a cross, is a handsome & substantial structure, of Gothic Architecture, & is composed of lofty freestone arches in the interior, & is covered with a Stone roof. It has, however, been as much as possible disfigured by modern bad taste. It was built in 1500 by James IV for this parish, and dedicated to the Virgin Mary; And hence, in after times, the parish became known, by the name of Ladykirk, from our Lady. It was repaired in 1743 by Mr Robertson of Ladykirk and a belfry was then added, which is not all in unison with the building. It is seated for 300 persons |
