Notes
1. The church is the only one in the country to have church and manse under one roof. Built in 1850, it closed c.1980. It is now a house, still retaining a lot of the old features. The only major alteration is that the pulpit steps have been turned to lead up to a raised sitting area.
2. When the house was for sale in 1993, the then owner intended to have written in the deeds that the plaque must remain where it has always been, high up on the wall. It was not clear what would happen to the Roll of Honour, as it was not a fixture.
