Boarhills Church / Chesterhill Chapel

Dublin Core

Title

Boarhills Church / Chesterhill Chapel

Description

Boarhills Church was founded in the 1860s. The building was designed by George Rae. When the church was being constructed several stone cists were supposedly found – implying that the site may have had a religious purpose in the Early Middle Ages. In the mid-twentieth century Boarhills was united with Dunino. The final service at Boarhills was held in 2016. The church has since been sold and converted into a house.
