Church Overview
The collegiate church was built in 1449 by William Crichton, Lord Chancellor of Scotland. Fine pointed barrel vaults over choir and transepts and splendid square tower over crossing. The internal furnishings date from a restoration in 1898 by architects Hardy & White. The spectacular suite of stained glass windows are by Ballantine & Gardiner, Edinburgh. The organ was installed by Joseph Brook & Co., Glasgow. Following its acquisition from the Church of Scotland in 1994, the church has undergone further restoration work under the care of the Crichton Collegiate Church Trust. The church enjoys a magnificent position at the head of the Tyne valley close to Crichton Castle. A number of services and concerts are held throughout the year.
