Abstract:		 St John's church, Gamrie is a small medieval parish church that continued in use after the Reformation until it was replaced in the 19th century. Prior to consolidation, detailed recording was undertaken to record structural differences that reflect the changes of religious practice. Local tradition dates a church on this site to 1004. However, there is no reliable documentary evidence of its existence until the late 12th century. A geophysical survey revealed no evidence of an earlier building (Ovenden, S M 2017 Geophysical Survey Report St John's Church, Gamrie, Gardenstown RGC17234/GAM Unpublished client report in archive.) The E end of the church, which is c. 8-10m long, has generally been regarded as the earliest part. It would have been the chancel of the pre-Reformation church, and a number of features can be identified. There is an aumbry in the E wall. A recess in the E end of the N wall has been tentatively identified as a piscina, a hypothesis which may be tested when the concrete render is removed. A recess beside a door in the S wall may have held a holy water stoup. Later, the building was extended to a length of 29m externally; this longer rectangular plan is comparable to other churches in the region which had been extended in the late medieval or post-medieval period. After the Reformation, it is probable that new doorways were made in the E and W gables and a belfry added to the W gable. .
