"During the 17th century a new parish church was built
a mile higher up the vale at a place called Uphall; whence
the parish obtained its present name."
"The inscription upon the bell of the old church is

bell which was removed from its ancient Steeple to
the new Church at Uphall proves the dedication
of the church to St. Nicholas."
