Following the union of Wiston and Roberton the church of Wiston was enlarged and served as the place of worship for the united parish however there was a relief chapel built at Roberton at the beginning of the 19th century. The charge of Roberton West was united with Wiston and Roberton in 1938, following the union, both the Wiston church and the Roberton West church remained in use.
