Its design is a progress from west to east, starting with the low sloping roof of the porch. Then comes the nave, tall and quite narrow, with the rich green of the lower part and the deep biscuit colour of the buttressed aisles graduated up into the lighter tones of the upper walls and roof, where massive timbers are bevelled with red. A more sumptuous red is the basis of the chancel arch which leads onwards and upwards into a space completely dominated by colour, having its climax in the high altar and figure-painted reredos. (This and much of the stained glass are the work of the London firm of Burlison and Grylls). Through the arcade to the south of the chancel is the Lady chapel, whose own splendid treatment is pitched somewhere between that of the nave and the chancel.A sung Mass will be celebrated from 11am -12 noon on Sunday morning, during which time any visitors are asked to join the worship and see the church in action as Bodley intended.

An oak doorway, façade of vertical oak timbers, and woven flooring made of hazel, covered with grasses and vegetation, were discovered, as well as, recently, evidence of wood-turning, metalworking and a finely decorated wooden bowl.The Whithorn Trust has used the evidence to construct a full-size replica, which won the Scottish Heritage Angels Award in 2017. It measures 13 metres across, with a central working fireplace, and is about 9 metres at the apex. The building is thatched with water reed and this work was carried out by local volunteers and trainees, under supervision of a master thatcher. The timbers are alder or oak and the woven walls, filled with clay, are from hazel gathered from an Atlantic Hazel Woodland, near Newton Stewart. The Trust now operates the venue as part of its visitor attraction and for educational and community use. The interiors of the building continue to develop, as archaeologists continue excavation and post excavation analysis.

With the help of her friend, the Rev Henry Duncan, Minister of Ruthwell Parish and founder of the Trustee Savings Bank, Elizabeth attempted to endow a College of University status in Dumfries ‘for the education of poor scholars’.After a twenty year battle, she recognised that her dream was not to be and instead endowed a ‘lunatic asylum’ on the edge of the town. In delivering the Crichton bequest, Elizabeth was determined to produce a hospital that was the best in Europe, not only in the treatment of patients but also in its architecture and environment. When recruiting the first Physician Superintendent, the same considerations applied.The appointment of Dr William Browne was to be the first in a long line of very able and distinguished physicians in charge. The doors opened in 1839. The next 150 years saw the growth of that vision into an internationally recognised centre of excellence in mental health research and care.

When his father bought the house in 1856, he used his master building skills to add a cantilever staircase to access two bedrooms which he developed in the roof space to accommodate his five sons. On ground floor there is a box bedroom where Thomson was born and a room reserved for the Heritage of Penpont, Keir and Tynron .Outwith the cottage there is a wash-house, an outside boiler and sandstone steps leading to an annexe which was built as an armoury for the Penpont Rifle Volunteers (1860-1885). In the back garden there is still a pigsty and a privy.The cottage was home to Mrs. Jean Carson for 70 years and has changed little since the Thomson's occupied it from 1856-1868.Because Jean was proud to be in Thomson`s birthplace, she willingly welcomed parties of schoolchildren in the 80s and 90s . She explained its unique features and showed how she swept her own chimney using a whale bone brush she had bought for 30 shillings. Even at 95 she was willing to be photographed and filmed and, as a result, the idea was born of, one day, converting this cottage into a Heritage Centre.As such, it was officially opened in 2013 by the Duke of Buccleuch who has leased the property to the community at a nominal rent.Sophia Harkness MBE FRSGS Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1856 renovation Museum Represents a museum WC Yes EventsForChildren No HearingLoop No IsIncludedThisYear No DisabledAccess Yes Activities Special Event Special raised bed area, giving access for all to ponddipping and mini-beast safaris!
