011.05 | "In the parish of Cambuslang about a quarter of a mile below the parish church, there was,in former times, a chapel, which was dedicated to the Virgin Mary, which was popularly called the Lady Chapel of Kirkburn.", (Chalmers Caledonia). No traces whatsoever of the Chapel remain now, nor has anyone in the locality ever remembered to have seen any. It has been handed down to the authorities given as having stood where the cottage named 'Chapel' stands. James Park remembers the parish church incumbent in 1791, when collecting information for 'Sir John Sinclair's Statistical Account', having said that the Chapel stood on the place shown. It is believed that this information was supplied to Sir John Sinclair , but no particulars of it appear. "There was on the banks of the Kirk Burn, about ΒΌ of a mile below the Kirk, a chapel which was dedicated to the Virgin Mary, to which belonged 4 acres of land, which still retain the name of Chapel" (Old Stat Acct, John 5,p 266) "The chapel of the Lady of the Kirkburn was situated on a ravine, about a quarter of a mile lower than the church", "In 1380 William Monypenny, rector of the parish, founded a chaplaincy in the chapel of St Mary of Cambuslang" (Origines Parochiales Scotiae) |
