Chirnside Parish Church, Parish church in Chirnside, Scotland
Chirnside Parish Church is a stone building built on a hillside with a Norman doorway featuring chevron patterns on its western side. The structure displays traditional church architecture with elements that reflect its long history.
The original church was established in the 12th century when local land was granted to monks from Durham Abbey. Since then the building has undergone various modifications visible in its structure.
The church serves as a gathering place for the local community and continues to host services following Church of Scotland practices. Visitors can observe how it remains central to village life and traditions.
The church sits near the B6355 road with parking available nearby for those who wish to visit. The grounds are accessible for exploring both the building and the adjacent churchyard.
Formula One champion Jim Clark is buried in the churchyard next to the building, marked by a commemorative plaque. This connection to a celebrated figure in racing history adds an unexpected dimension to a visit.
