Statement of Interest

Formerly listed as Kennoway Old Parish Manse. The NSA describes, "An excellent and commodious new manse, with offices and garden wall, was built in 1833, on a new and very eligible site, about five minutes walk from the church". Robert Hutchison (architect of the session room and watch house at Old Kennoway Churchyard) was employed as Clerk of Works, providing working drawings for a plan 'altered by the late Captain Lundin and drawn by James Fisher under his directions'.
