Parish notes
Claimed by Kilwinning Abbey as a chapel of Ardrossan in 1226, the abbot quitclaimed his right to the church which was to remain in the patronage of the bp. of Glasgow (Glasg. Reg. no.140). The parsonage was annexed to Kilwinning shortly before 1471, in which year the abbey supplicated for the union of the vicarage also. The attempted annexation was evidently unsuccessful. The vicarage remained independent until its erection into the provostry of Our Lady College, Glasgow 1532x42, the cure thereafter becoming a vicarage pensionary. See Cowan 1967, 44-5 for more [late medieval] references.
