Fyvie Parish Church
Aberdeenshire
There has been a worshipping community in the village of Fyvie for over 1000 years. The Church is thought to have been founded by monks who evangelised Aberdeenshire in the 10th century. The Priory of Fyvie (now marked by a Cross) was a sub-Priory of the Abbey of Arbroath and monks took Services in the Church until the Reformation. Evidence of a Pre-Reformation Church may be seen in the graveyard. Part of the congregation ‘went out’ at the Disruption and formed a Free Church at Woodhead which closed in 1960 when the Churches reunited.
The present Church was built in 1808 and in 1902 the Chancel was added together with the ‘Laird’s Laft’, the organ, the Vestry and the Session Room. The crowning glory of the Chancel is the unique East Window by Louis Comfort Tiffany and depicts the Archangel Michael on the Wheel of Time. The Church including galleries has seating for 1000.
Knowledgeable guides will be on hand to show visitors around and answer any questions.
