Though St. Mary's has only been the parish church since the mid 1980s, there has been a church, dedicated to St. Mary, on the site since, at least, 1183 when Parson Henry witnessed a charter at the church. St. Mary's was dedicated by Adam, Bishop of Caithness in 1214 while a later parson, Robert de Wynton, swore allegiance to Edward I of England in 1296 at Berwick.
