Description
Legerwood Kirk is an ancient and historic Church of Scotland church in the former county of Berwickshire, Scotland. There has been a religious establishment at Legerwood since at least 1127. Walter de Lauder granted the church to the monks of Paisley Abbey in 1164 and they held the church and its tithes until the coming of the reformed church in Scotland in 1560. There is more mention of Legerwood in 1296 when the vicar, Walter, swore fealty to Edward I of England in 1296 at Berwick-upon-Tweed. The church still retains its original Norman chancel.
