Lethnot Parish Kirk

The walls are all that remain of the kirk of Lethnot, plus a few old gravestones. I wonder how many more stones might be lurking buried in the grass? The building dates from about 1742, about twenty years after the parishes of Lethnot and Navar were united. The round-arched door and windows were inserted in 1820, and the interior, renovated in 1886, now contains nothing but two memorials to former parish ministers. Navar and Lethnot was linked with Menmuir for four years from 1938 after the then minister retired, but the link became permanent and the kirk at Lethnot, like that at Navar, became redundant and ruinous.
