history |
The church of Brydekirk, which takes its name from the ancient chapel of St Bride that previously existed here, was erected in 1835, initially to serve as a missionary station and largely at the expense of Mrs Dirom of Mount Annan. In the following year Brydekirk church was granted a chapel constitution with a separate district allocated to it by the General Assembly, and the parish of Brydekirk was later disjoined in 1853 from the parishes of Annan and Hoddam, and erected quoad sacra. Brydekirk was once more connected with the parish of Hoddam in 1972, when the two charges were linked together. The kirk session sat within the Presbytery of Annan and later of Annandale and Eskdale, until the restructuring of the Presbyteries in 1976, when it became part of the Presbytery of Annandale and Eskdale. |
