Statement of Interest

The land for the church was provided by David Dixon of Hartree and Kilbucho, who came out of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland with Dr Thomas Chalmers in 1843. The church forms a coherent historical group with Kirkwood Old Manse, Stables and Former Beadle's Cottage.
