| KINNEIL CHURCH | 001 | [Continued] was detained in England. However in December 1669 William and Anne Duke and Duchess of Hamilton obtained an Act of the Scots Parliament declaring the church built within the town to be "the Kirk of the hail barony of Kinneil and Bo'ness" From that period the parishes have been united and considered as one. The inhabitants of the barony have ceased to inter at Kinneil, as burying-ground has been provided near the Bo'ness churchyard. In the latter are several expensively sculptured monuments, some of which were erected by families now extinct whose names have been obliterated to give place to others. -- New Stat. Acct [Statistical Account] of Co. [County] Linlithgow page 142. |
