history |
The parish church of Cupar was dedicated to St Christopher and belonged, prior to the reformation of 1560, to the Priory of St Andrews. In 1415 a new parish church was erected by the Prior of St Andrews, which was partially pulled down in 1785 to make way for the present building. A second charge was established for the parish of Cupar in 1625 and in 1938 the two charges were united. Following this union the session became known as Cupar Old and St Michael of Tarvit and the church of the former second charge was later sold in 1951. The kirk session sat within the Presbytery of Cupar until the restructuring of the Presbyteries in 1976, when it became part of the Presbytery of St Andrews. |
