A manse had been built close by the newly sited Bellie church
in 1788 (11 The Square) which reverted to the Duke of
Gordon's estates when the Minister, Rev John Anderson, who
combined the posts of Commissioner to the Duke of Gordon with
his ministry, demitted office as minister in 1819, thus
necessitating the construction of another manse. The site is
that of the glebe 'excambed' from Bellie circa 1780. The
story comes full circle when The Old Manse was sold in 1952
and No 11 The Square purchased in 1959 to serve again as
parish manse.
