Title
Greenlaw Parish Church
Description
The Parish Church was lengthened in 1712 to join the originally separate tower of 1696, and north aisle, 1855. Built of weathered red sandstone it has a square tower and steeply pitched crowstep gabled roof over the body of the Kirk. It also boasts a magnificent iron yett. In 1834, the last public execution by hanging took place here, and the victim, an Irishman who had been found guilty of assault and robbery was buried inside the gaol. The Old Market Cross in the Churchyard, 1609, takes the form of a Corinthian column. This used to stand in the centre of the village green but was dismantled in 1829 when the County Hall was built. It now stands just west of the Kirk. Exhibition of the Town and its history.
