Parish notes
Annexed to the provostry of Lincluden collegiate church before 1494, the church, which was already a vicarage in 1275 and it thus appears that the parsonage had originally pertained to the nunnery of Lincluden, thence passing to the College in 1389, and so remaining (ADC 333-4; McDowall Chronicles of Lincluden, 114, 123; CPP i, 574; SHS Misc. v, 106); Reports 138. Cowan 1967, 136.
