Statement of Interest

Former inn. Sited to E of ruins of Penningham former parish church, and graveyard containing gravestones of early date and considerable interest. The Galloway panel on the Clachan, was allegedly taken from this graveyard, however, present occupier (1992) considers this unlikely as it was not a burial site for the Earls of Galloway.
