history |
Auchtermuchty Church was first consecrated by Bishop de Bernham on the 31st March 1245 and in 1350 it was granted by the Earl of Fife, out of gratitude for his escape at the battle of Durham, to the Abbey of Lindores. The present day church was erected in 1780. In 1952, after the union of the Church of Scotland and the United Free Church in 1929, Auchtermuchty old parish church was joined with the former United Free Church congregation of Auchtermuchty St Stephens. After the union the session continued under the name of Auchtermuchty and the former St Stephen's church and manse were sold. The kirk session formerly sat within the Presbytery of Cupar and presently falls under the jurisdiction of the Presbytery of St Andrews. |
