Title
Abercrombie Church
Description
The former parish church of Abercrombie is first recorded around 1160. During the Middle Ages both Dunfermline Abbey and Culross Abbey had rights regarding Abercrombie, and the parish church was at times a focus for disputes between the two monasteries. Abercrombie survived the Reformation. However, in the 1640s St Monans became the main parish church. Abercrombie Parish Church was abandoned soon after and gradually fell into ruin.
