Aubourn Church

This was the new Victorian church of St Peter, which was built between Aubourn and Haddington in 1861-1862. However, the church was not as robust as the old and became unsafe after a period of deterioration. The old church, which at first was used as a mortuary chapel and then had restoration work carried out in 1933, was reinstated as the Parish Church. This new church was closed 14-May-1968 and partly demolished on 26-Oct-1973, leaving the remains as a monument. The spire was re-shingled in 2005.
