Statement of Interest

Formerly listed as "Corsewall Graveyard". Kirkcolm Church, the former parish church, was demolished in 1821. It was replaced in 1824 by another church, now known as Ervie-Kirkcolm Church (see separate listing), on a separate site. The cross-slab, now situated in the graveyard of Ervie-Kirkcolm Church, was inserted as a lintel over the west door of old Kirkcolm Church during repairs done in 1719.
