history |
The church of Penninghame, which held a dedication to St Ninian, belonged prior to the reformation to the Archdeacon of Galloway. In 1777 the old church was removed to an alternative location at Newton Stewart and this church was later rebuilt in around the year 1850. In 1971 Penninghame united with the congregation of Newton Stewart St John's, under the name of Newton Stewart Penninghame St John's, and a link later followed with Bargrennan in 1994. The kirk session sat within the Presbytery of Wigtown until 1963 when, by Act of Assembly, the Presbytery of Wigtown and the Presbytery of Stranraer were united together under the name of Presbytery of Wigtown and Stranraer. |
