OS1/3/44/62 [Page] 62 County of Ayr No. 21. Ph. [Parish] of Mauchline "The parish church or Priory of Mauchline, was no doubt erected by the Monks of Melrose, as Supported by Chalmers, after 1165, and the Village or Kirktoun of Mauchline gradually sprung up in the vicinity. The Church forming the part of the original Priory, it is supposed, and with which the Tower at Mauchline is believed to have been connected, was situated in the middle of the town, having the Church Yard around it. The Old Church was Superseded, Some years ago, by a handsome new edifice, after the Gothic Style, with a tower about ninety feet high." "Now that the church has been removed, the Tower of Mauchline, as it is called, may be said to be the only remain of the Ancient Priory. - Patersons History. "The parish church, occupying a site in the centre of the town, is highly ornamental to it. and has been pronounced one of the most handsome ecclesiastical edifices in Ayrshire." "Its predecessor, a lumpish, plain, sombre building," "stood for six centuries on the same site, surrounded by the public burying ground. "Fullartons Gazetteer. "The old Church after having stood upwards of six centuries, was found to be both inconvenient and unsafe, was taken down in 1827, and the present Church erected over the same site."

Callendar and Middleton, to prevent any serious opposition were sent instantly west, and on Monday. June 10th.. they rendezvoused at Stewarton. sixteen hundred horses and about ten thousand foot. The noblemen and gentlemen of the Shire of Ayr who had had a committee meeting at Riccarton on the Saturday respecting the courses they were to pursue, learning that Fife remained tranquil. that Argyle had gone to Inverary and that a large force had arrived in the neighbourhood. determined to lay aside all thoughts of resistance. and as a number of the Clydesdale men were to communicate at Mauchline. next day. sent notice thither of their determination. The assemblage however would not disperse: but after sunrise on the morning of Monday, they mustered on Mauchline moor about twelve hundred horses, eight hundred foot, and eight ministers. While in the act of choosing officers Middleton made his appearance with the advance and the ministers, to prevent bloodshed, immediately went up to him. - A capitulation was in consequence entered into, by which the whole were allowed quietly to disperse, except such as had appointed soldiers, and refused to join. When the ministers returned and informed the crowd of this agreement, the greater part of those who belonged the Kyle and Cunninghame went home; but the recruits, joined by the Clydesdale men, stood out. After remaining nearly an hour in parley Middleton ordered his horse to charge, and the greater part fled: but a few took possession of a bridge and disputed the passage stoutly: nearly forty fell, nor were they dislodged, till Callendar

He and his Party came upon a Company of Country People, on a Munday after a Communion who had not the least thought of fighting and were improvided for it. Mr Thomas Wylie Minister of Mauchlin under whose Hand I have an account of that Action and some other Ministers travelled 'twixt the People and Middleton and got his Promise to permit the People to dismiss peaceably Which when they were doing his Men fell upon the People and with some slaughter scattered them and Kept the Muir. When he came to Mauchline the Minister quarrelled his breach of Promise and Capitulation and he put it off with alledging that some of the people had provoked his Men with harsh Speeches."
