history |
The kirk session of Glasserton was united in 1618 with the parish of Kirk-Maiden-in-Fairnes by the Commissioner of Teinds. The original church, which sat within the parish of Wigton and the Synod of Galloway, belonged to the Priory of Whitern. The old parish church was rebuilt in 1732 and enlarged in 1837. Ministry is recorded at Glasserton from 1567 in the person of Rodolph Peirson. Glasserton united with the parish of the Isle Whithorn on the 13th January 1946 to form Glasserton and Isle of Whithorn. Despite the local union both churches continued in use. Whithorn St Ninian's Priory was linked with Glasserton and Isle of Whithorn in 1990. |
