Parish notes
In origin a chapel in Glendochart, in which a prior was erected in 1317/18, the charge appears thereafter to have assumed parochial status, one of the canons doubtless having the cure of souls, while both parsonage and vicarage teinds accrued to the priory, as they did at the Reformation (Cowan 1967, 191).
