"The old collegiate church of Seton is the finest monument of antiquity in the parish, and is an interesting specimen of Gothic Architecture, built in good taste. The date of the oldest part is uncertain, but it must have been previous to the year 1390, for in the beginning of the reign of Robert III, Catherine Sinclair of Hermanston, the Widow of Lord William Seton 'Biggit ane yle on the South syd of the pareche Kirk of Seytoun of fine Astler, and founded ane priest to serve thair perpetuallie'.

Considerable additions were subsequently made to this church by the Seton family, many of whom expended large sums of money in decorating the mausoleum of their races.
