in the old Saxon Stile of architecture". -- Pennicuik's Description of Tweeddale page 183

"The Church which stood among lofty ash trees upon the bank of the Lyne
about a mile below the manor place of Romanno showed tokens of antiquity
in the middle of the last century. It had an aisle built early in the seventeenth century
by John Murray the founder of the family of Stanhope which had here its burial place". -- Origines Parochiales page 192

There is no record of the age of the church. The doorway at the west end in
the front is arched Semicircularly; the two windows and door in front at the
west end are Square and lintelled and Seem modern. - these two doors and windows
are in the front, and there was a large Gothic window in the east end which has
now been converted into a door to a gallery. -- New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of Co. [County] Linlithgow page 145
