history |
The church of St Monans (or St Monance), which was named of old Abercrombie, dates back to 1362 when it was founded by David II, to express his gratitude for his survival after his ship was wrecked in the Firth of Forth. The church, which replaced an earlier chapel, was burnt down by the English in 1544 but was later rebuilt as the parish church of St Monans in 1646. In 1939 St Monance old parish church united with the former United Free Church congregation of St Monance Braehead, the session continued under the name of St Monance after the union and the former United Free Church was sold in 1947. The Kirk Session of St Monance, which was linked in 1983 with Largoward, sits within the Presbytery of St Andrews. |
