Statement of Interest

Ecclesiastical building in use as such.

Amongst fittings the church contains a simple wooden table

which is all that survives from an early Episcopal chapel at

Rosarie (between Keith and Mulben) and 'Seabury chair' used

by Bishop Kilgour when he consecrated Bishop Seabury as first

bishop of the American Episcopal church, Aberdeen 1784.

Present church replaced earlier 'small, plain building' of

1808 at rear of Land Street.
