Hiking

This church has quite a colourful history and its oldest section is the Norman tower. In the 14th century, much of the church was demolished and rebuilt, renovated again in the 15th century. In the 1400s the Reverend John Hay was pulled out of the church and brutally murdered in the grounds by a group of men; the reasons lost to history. The door through which he was taken was blocked off but can still be seen from the outside.
