Dedicated to Researching Rosslyn Chapel, The Knights Templar and Scottish Freemasonry

Most of the north wall (to the left) is from the original priory and internally is almost complete. No image of the interior is presently available. The east wall (the far end and out of sight in this image) is also part of the original priory.

Following the deprecations of Oliver Cromwell’s General George Monck (1608 - 1670) the priory was repaired in 1662, restored in 1854 and completely renovated in 1954. The remaining north and east walls of the old priory were incorporated into the present Parish Church.

Maintaining a fabric as old as Coldingham is no easy task and money is always required. You can help in this work, wherever you live by joining the Friends of Coldingham Priory. Please write to:

The church remains in use today and Sunday services are held at 11.00am. Although one of the least well known of Scotland’s Collegiate Churches (and some might justifiably argue that it does not merit that description) it has another thing in common with Rosslyn Chapel and that is that it continues to be a place or worship although in the case of Rosslyn it is under the auspices of the Episcopalian Church in Scotland.

The Episcopalian Church in Scotland has a website at http://www.scotland.anglican.org/
