"This and several other Chapels over the Country were "Quoad Sacra" before the Session of 1843, but in consequence of certain legal decisions at that time they all revert to their former status "Chapel of Ease" and so remain till they be "Endowed". The name "Quoad Sacra" is still often loosely applied to many of these Chapels and to this one among the rest, but it is inaccurate". Mr Lamont.
