Title A name given to the resource Newburn Old Parish Church Type The nature or genre of the resource Site Description An account of the resource There appears to have been a church at Newburn as early as the twelfth century, and perhaps some time before that. For much of the Middle Ages the parsonage of Newburn was appropriated by the Abbey of Dunfermline. Following the Reformation the church at Newburn remained in use, although by the early seventeenth-century the building was in poor repair. The appointment of George Hamilton as minister in 1628 appears to have triggered a phase of rebuilding. In 1629 the parish sent to Flanders for a new bell, and major renovation work was undertaken during the 1630s and 1640s. In 1793 Thomas Laurie became minister of Newburn – a charge he held until the 1840s. During Laurie’s time as minister a new parish church was built a few fields away and the medieval building was abandoned, gradually descending into ruins.
