Abstract: |
Prior to its conversion for residential and community use, a standing building survey was undertaken on the former parish church in Fordyce, a Category B listed building built in 1804. The church is an imposing but plain rectangular block set E/W with round-arched doorways in the E and W gable walls with large round-arched windows above. There are matching windows along the S wall. A rectangular bellcote, thought to date to c1830, houses a bell dated 1702 which was reused from the earlier Fordyce church. During restoration the owners found several mason's marks on paving slabs which may also have been re-used from the earlier church. J C Murray 2014 |
