Polwarth Church is said to date from 900AD. Rededicated in 1242 and restored in 1378, it was rebuilt by Sir Patrick Hume, First Earl of Marchmont in 1703, as part of the designed landscape of Marchmont, one of the finest designed landscapes in Scotland. After it was declared redundant by the Church of Scotland we were commissioned by the Scottish Redundant Churches Trust to carry out a feasibility study to determine how its valuable historic features, including important carved panels, can best be conserved, and whether a new sustainable use can be found for this important church building. It has subsequently been purchased by a private owner who plans to maintain it as a church.
