B group with adjacent Gillespie Memorial Church. It appears to have been built shortly after 1794 as the manse for the Relief Church, which preceded the Gillespie Memorial Church on this site. A Relief meeting house is described in 'The Statistical Account' as having been built in 1775 but it does not appear to have at that time been provided with a manse, as the minister was allocated extra money to rent one. Presumably this is the same church referred to in the 'New Statistical Account' as being sited on North Chapel Street and provided with a house and garden. It was still in use as a manse for some time after the present Gillespie Memorial Church was built (1848-49). The history of this church is especially significant, its congregation having been the first Relief congregation in Scotland, having been formed following the deposition of the Rev Thomas Gillespie (after whom the present church is named), minister of Carnock, in 1752. The former manse is currently (1998) in use as offices. See separate list description for Gillespie Memorial Church.
