Title

St Margaret’s Parish Church

Description

St Margaret’s Parish Church can be traced back to a Norman church on the site in 1165, which was destroyed in the Reformation. Rebuilding began in 1836 in the Scots Gothic style by William Burn, completed in 1837. Adjoining the Church is the hexagonal 15th Century St Triduana’s Well.

GLOBAL CONNECTIONS

Although, today, Restalrig is a small hamlet with a medieval chapel and well, and a tiny church, it has through the centuries, attracted people of international fame. St Triduana of Greece, James III, IV and V of Scotland, Richard III of England and the Cauvins from France all played a significant part in the history of the area.

ACTIVITIES

Guided tours of the Church, Chapel and graveyard. This includes St Triduanas Well, video presentation and photo display inside the Church. There will also be Music from St Margaret’s musical interludes throughout the day.
