which dates it to 1612, on the site of a medieval predecessor. The village also
had a Free Church, now demolished. It stood off
Manse Road, south of the western corner of the village green, at NT 5146 8381.
It's dated
here to post-1843 to 1936. Its site isn't viewable on Streetview, but
the access road to where the site was is seen
here in a Streetview from
2020.
East Linton, Prestonkirk Church (CoS). Another
view. NT 592 778. Grade A listed. The former
St. Kentigern (R.C., closed before 1990) on High Street, now a private residence.
Another view. NT 591 773. Link. The former
Free Church. It pre-dates 1879, when it is reported as being "improved". The spire is of the "Rhenish helm" type,
and rare in Britain. NT 552 792. Three views of the former United Presbyterian Church - 1,
2, 3. What may be this building shows on the OS map of 1854-5; it is
certainly shown on the 1894 map, and on the next map (1907, which is after the union) it shows as "U. F. Church". It continues as such on the 1938 map, but by
the 1957 edition it shows as "U. F. Church (Dis.)". There is some indication that it was subsequently in use as a Masonic Hall. NT 592 773. All © Howard Richter (2013).

Grade B listed. St. Mary
(R.C.) on Poldrate, as seen by Streetview in 2021. It's dated
here to 1962, though this looks too late for the style of the building, and
