Parish of Terregles

[Note Aisle of Old Church] -- "Adjoining to the church there is an old building which now constitutes
the burying place of the Maxwell family. It was built in the year
1568 and formed part of the church at that period used as a Roman
Catholic place of worship. There are many Curiosities Connected with this
remnant of the olden times. Amongst others is a mossy and curiously
carved chair made of Oak which originally belonged to the Provost of
Lincluden Abbey after that institution was changed to a temporal barony. This
remnant of the catholic times retains to this day the name of the choir and
is understood to have formed the orchestra or place set apart for the singers in the service
of the Romish church. It is now very much decayed" -- Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of KirKcudt [Kirkcudbright] 1845
