history |
The session of Collessie Free Church was established at the time of the Disruption in 1843, when the minister of the established church of Collessie, and a number of his congregation, adhered to the Free Church. A church to house the newly established charge was erected at Giffordtown however in 1875 the congregation was removed to new premises at Ladybank. Accordingly, at the time of the union of the Free Church and the United Presbyterians, Collessie was renamed Ladybank St Mary's United Free, and following the 1929 union of the Church of Scotland and the United Free Church, the congregation became Ladybank St Mary's Church of Scotland. In 1949 Ladybank St Mary's joined with the charge of Ladybank Kerr Memorial, under the name of Ladybank, and after the union the former United Free church continued in use as the place of worship. Further union followed in 1968 with the Parish Church congregation of Collessie to form the session of Collessie and Ladybank. Collessie Free Church and Ladybank St Mark's kirk session both sat within the Presbytery of Cupar. |
