43 & 54 - Clerkington Chapel (in Ruins)

Ext: [Extract] from Chalmers Caledonia Vol. [Volume] 2 Page 811
David 2nd granted the manor of
Clerkington to Walter Bisset: and he transferred the church with
its tithes, & pertinent to the Monks of Newbottle: granting them at
the same time an annual rent of five marks from the manor
The monks enjoyed the parsonage while the cure was served by a
vicar: And lifes regimen continued until the reformation annulled
it. Note. - This place of worship was a Parish Church, therefore
the term Chapel is not proper, it is therefore written Clerkington Church
as recommended by the local authorities.
