a spacious square, where the beeves and other beasts of pasture belonging to the barony might repose

Catacombs". -- Millers History of Haddington page 47.

[Note] "At the end of thirty years after the Reformation the church of Haddington
the Chapel of St, Martin and the Church of Athelstaneford were all served
by one parson. This paucity of preachers owing to the penury of provision in
the reformed church continued till 1602 George Grier was now ordained
minister of St. Martin's Chapel and he was the last who officiated in this
ancient fane." -- Chalmer's Caledonia vol [volume] 2 page 515
[Note] "In the suburbs of Newgate are the ruins of St. Martin's Chapel which belonged to the Abbey of Haddington. It appears from the records of Haddington which are extant as far back as 1592 that the cure of the churches of Haddington St. Martins and Athelstaneford were served by one Clergyman Mr James Carmichael from 1592 to 1602 and probably for several years preceding that period. In 1602 Mr G. Grier was ordained minister
of St. Martins. He Seems to have had no successor. It is believed that this Chapel was suffered to go into decay as St Mary's (the present parish
church) was then Sufficiently large to contain both congregations." -- Stat. Acct [Statistical Account] of Hadding [Haddington] page 14 - |

[Situation] In the Centre of the parish of Haddington
A royal burgh, a town of great antiquity, And the metropolis of East Lothian is pleasantly Situated within a bend of the Tyne, And on the left bank of that river, which divides it from the suburb of Nungate. The town consists of six streets. The entrance from the west is by Court street which leads into two parallel streets, called the High Street And MarKet Street. These are intersected at right angles by the Sidegate and Longcauseway, and on the left Hardgate Street which leads to the N. E [North East] port And the London Road. The other which bears the significant name of Church Street, leads to the public schools, Nungate, and the parish Church. The Streets are well

well Kept, and have in general the advantages of a side-pavement , And are lighted with gas. The houses are Chiefly from three to four stories in height, And have a modern and regular appearance, many of the shops in the principal streets being equal to those in the metropolis. The suburb of Nungate is Connected
with Haddington by a very Ancient bridge, purporting by its date, to have been erected in the 12th Century. The approaches to the town from the west and east are beautified by elegant villas, luxuriant gardens, And extensive nurseries. Situated in a rich agricultural district Haddington has been recKoned, among the greatest markets in Scotland for all Kinds of grain. In early times tanning of leather Seems to have been a trade of great importance in the burgh, and it is still carried on to a considerable extent. (The public buildings, Antiquities, Manufactories, etc are described under their respective heads, in the annexed orthography Sheets) The name "Haddington" though apparently of Saxon origin, is of Doubtful etymology. Haddington united with Dunbar, Lauder, North Berwick and Jedburgh in returning a member to parliament. |

"There are only two villages in the parish and both inconsiderable. Of the one St Lawrence Ho [House]
about a mile to the westward of the town of Haddington, there is neither record nor tradition of any
importance; the other is the Abbey Somewhat more than a mile to the eastward. Here in 1178 Countess Ada
of Northumberland mother of malcolm IV. and William the Lion Kings of Scotland founded and richly
endowed a convent or priory of Cistertian nuns which was dedicated to the virgin mary and here on
the 7th July 1548 the parliament of Scotland was convened and their consent obtained to the
marriage of the young Queen Mary with the Dauphin and her education at the court of France". -- New Stat. Acct [Statistical Account] of Haddington
"The convent at the village of the Abbey was an establishment of Cistertian nuns Only a very Small
fragment of the walls remains, The edifice was found in 1178 by Ada Countess of [Northumberland]
and mother of malcolm IV. and William the Lion and it was dedicated by her to the virgin and [endow-]
-ed with extensive and valuable possessions. The lands called the Nunlands now Huntington and the [Churches]
of Athelstaneford and Crail with their tithes were also the property of this Convent. In 1292 Alicia the
Alicia the prioress did homage with her nuns to Edward I. In 1296 Eve the successor of Alicia
submitted to the same overbearing prince and in return had a restoration of her. In 1358 the Convent
was strongly menaced and well nigh swept away." etc. -- Fullartons Gazetteer of Scotland |

010 |
The ruins of chapel which belonged to the abbacy of Haddington, situated on a gentle eminence, at the eastern extremity of the suburb of the Nungate. although its structure bears evident marKs of antiquity, it has been rather a substantial than an elegant building, measuring in length about 60 feet, by 15 wide, and has the principal entrance from the east
The Churchyard, in which this ruin stands contained some very ancient monuments which have been destroyed or delapidated. In 1832 several persons who died of cholera, were interred on the north side of the ruin, since then it has not been used a as burial ground. |
