Parish notes

The patronage was granted to Cambuskenneth by William I 1165x95 [RRS ii no.527 = Camb. Reg. 138 cf ibid, 44; no early form given in RRS]. In 1195 confirmed by Pope Celestine III. A pension of £10 was assigned from its fruits by Gregory bp. of Brechin c.1219-c.1246), although another, but apparently ineffective, charter by the same bishop had granted all the fruits of the church to the abbey (C.A. Chrs. no.127; Camb. Reg. nos. 25, 105). In 1311 the right of patronage was transferred to Coupar Abbey, with reservation of the annual pension to Camb., and this had been converted by the abbey to their own uses by the early 15th c.. Both parsonage and vicarage revenues were thereafter annexed to Coupar, while the cure was served by a vicar pensioner (ib. nos.106-7; C.A. Chrs. nos. 96, 121-2, 198, Ass. 327; RSS ii no.379).
