Archaeological Notes
NX97NW 9 9305 7703.
(NX 9305 7703) Aisle of Old Church (NR) Graveyard (1568)
OS 6" map (1854)
The 'queir' (quire) of Terregles was built as a family mortuary chapel by the fourth Lord Herries in 1585, the date over the S doorway. It was renovated in 1875, its window mullions and roof being renewed, and buttresses added. Its W end is attached to the present Terregles parish church, built in 1799 possibly on the foundations of an older building. G Hay 1957; RCAHMS 1914, visited 1911
The stone forming the step at the door of the 'Queir' is a fragment of a grave-slab, bearing an incised cross-shaft on a stepped base.
D MacGibbon and T Ross 1897
As described above. Nothing was seen to suggest the date 1568 (and no information was obtained from the relevant ONB). The church is still
in use.
