Parish notes

Brydekirk (Glasgow, Annandale). Granted to Guisborough by Alice, its patron, this was confirmed by the Pope in 1218, the church then lying, it is stated, within the diocese of Carlisle. The church was at some period united to that of Annan, which was itself annexed to Guisborough. Therafter it became and remained a chapel of Annan, the church of which regained independent status in the 14th century. I B Cowan 1967.
