The church in Panbride has a long history. Gifted to Arbroath Abbey by King William the Lion who ruled between 1165 and 1214 and is reputed to have founded the Abbey. The church was dedicated to St. Bride and hence the name of Panbride to the area served by the church. The older part of the church, to the fore in this picture is the burial place of the Maul family whose arms are displayed above the window on the end wall. This part of the church was built in 1681 replacing an earlier structure. The more modern part of the Church built in typically Scottish style, replaced an earlier building in 1851. Just visible on the sunlit wall of the burial aisle are the 'jougs' used to secure unfortunate parishioners in more religiously fundamental times.
