Notes
NGR is for Kilmory Parish Church (on modern OS map). There are suggestions from OPS, NSA and OSNB that St Mary's Chapel at Sliddery (NR989230) was the original church. While there is some archaeological support for this, the toponymy suggests otherwise. For discussion of various possibilities, see NMRS.
