Aberdeenshire
Taking part for the first time in Doors Open Days, Maryculter Trinity Church, formerly Maryculter Parish Church, was renamed following the coming together of Banchory-Devenick, Cookney and Maryculter parishes. The history is extensive in relation to this fine category B listed church with the earliest parish being created in 1163 and Maryculter parish having reported links to the Knights Templar.
The current church building was built in 1786-87, the dates cast on the old bell. Throughout its life the church has been much altered by several extensions in 1882, 1959/60 and 2006 with work carried out through 2016/17 to modernise the existing building yet still respecting the history, character and integrity of the original place of worship.
Over the weekend members of the congregation will be on hand to talk about the history and renovations done in the Church to allow the building to function successfully within its community. Visitors can read about the history and view a display of interviews with people who hold roles within the Church, see the fine stained-glass windows and find out what goes on here at Maryculter Trinity Church.
Refreshments will be available.
