notes:-	A church here was granted to Jedburgh Abbey, Scotland, 1165.
	A new church was built by Sir Richard Graham of Esk, son of Fargie the plumpe, who lived by the River Sark. This had neither steeple nor belfry, and was poorly constructed, needing frequent repair.
	The present church was built 1775 by Rev Dr Robert Graham, descendant of Sir Richard. It is aligned North-South, which is unusual. The plain interior was remodelled by architect Temple Moore, a gothic revivalist, in an italian baroque style - demonstrating his versatility. The scheme is said to be modelled on the saloon at Duncombe Park, Yorkshire, home of Lady Cynthia Graham. The idea for the scheme It is also said to have come from Lady Cynthia after a visit to the English Curhc, Venice.
