[situation] About 15 chains S.E. by E. [South East by East] of the Town of Cupar.
The site of the Parish Church of St, Michael of Tarvit is situated a little to the E. [East] of the Cupar Station, and on the railway. There was a small round hill on which the church stood called St. Michael's Hill, it along with Happy Hill, which was situated a little to the West of it; were removed through the operation of the railway. In 1617 the commissioners of King James VI [the Sixth] for enquiring into the state of churches, annexed the parish of St. Michael of Tarvit to that of Cupar; through the Archbishop of St. Andrews reporting that the College was very poor, that they were unable to repair the church which had become ruinous; or to pay an adequate stipend to an officiating minister, whose services were little needed; the parish although pretty extensive, being far from populous. So after that date the church was permitted to enter into decay. and the minister of Cupar got 100 Marks yearly for his extra duty. The date of its erection is not known. |

[Quotation]
"Another striking remembrance of the olden times is a small conical eminence on the opposite side of the Eden and lying a little farther down the river than school hill. This which at the time of the last Stat. Acct: [Statistical Account] was under cultivation is now covered with a young thriving plantation belonging to the proprietor of Tarvit. It was the site of the Church of the parish of St. Michael and formed the burying ground of that parish A few years ago when an alteration was making upon the public road many of the depositories of the dead were broken open and the remains of their inmates brought to view after a repose of at least two centuries. This receptacle of the dead has thus been again converted into common earth. In the same manner has the burial ground of the parish of Cupar which lay at a remoter period at a distance of fully a mile to the northwest of the town and of the present burial ground, " etc. Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] 1845 page 5
[Quotation]
" Near the garden gate of Tarvet and on a farm belonging to the estate is a little knoll [where] the ancient Church of Tarvet stood. It was dedicated to St. Michael and hence was called St Michael of Tarvet. † Human bones were at one time often discovered here by the operations of the plough and also at the time the river Eden was straightened."
† "It is found that St. Michaelis Kirk is unplanted and the parochmaris thairof being annexed to na uther neither subject to any particular ar verie offensive to all that ar adjacent to thame. It is thocht meitt thairfoir that the minister and sessioune of Coupar have ane cair of thame and hold thame under discipline. - Records of the Synod of Coupar April 1612 p. 51" Leighton's Hist [History] of Fife Vol. [Volume] 2, p. 39 |

[Quotation]
" The district of Cupar formed a parish in early times when the great parochial divisions of Crail, Kilrenny, Kilconquhar, St Andrews, Leuchars and a few others comprehended all the eastern part of the county. The small parish of St. Michael's lying on the South of the Eden was joined to that of Cupar in the beginning of the last century. The church belonging to the parish stood on that beautiful spot now known by the name of St. Michael's Hill. Human bones are still occasionally discovered in the fields when the operations of husbandry are going forward. The ruins of a small chapel situated near the eastern boundary of the lands of Kilmaron were to be seen not many years ago. - Old Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] vol. [Volume] 17 p. 147.
