1 review of St. Martin Kirk

Romanesque church in Haddington

Visiting Haddington, south of Edinburgh, we found a park and church in ruins that was freely available and after some research we realized that it was the oldest building in the town dating from the mid-twelfth century. Its structure suffered structural alterations, possibly during the thirteenth or fourteenth centuries. This church was under control of the Cistercian convent of Santa Maria and attended to the spiritual needs of the locals as the Cistercians could not contact lay staff. Currently it's under government care (Historic Scotland) who don't explain its edificion status but it's easy to access at any time (which could end up in an act of vandalism).
