The ancient Church of Uphall, originally known as the “Church of Strabrok” and in more recent times as “Uphall North”, is dedicated to St Nicholas and is one of about fifteen Scottish churches in use today as Parish Churches belonging to the Norman and Transition period of church building i.e. the 12th and 13th century. Despite the fact that throughout the past 800 years there have been many alterations, some distinctive features of Norman Church building still remain. The South Doorway, the North Doorway, the Tower Arch, the lancet windows in the east wall of the Chancel, together with several other details, make it evident that in this church we have a building of great antiquity.
