Prestongrange House

Prestongrange House ist ein Herrenhaus in der schottischen Stadt Prestonpans in der Council Area East Lothian. 1979 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Kategorie A aufgenommen. Des Weiteren bildet es zusammen mit verschiedenen Außengebäuden ein Denkmalensemble der Kategorie B. Heute beherbergt Prestongrange House das Clubhaus des Royal Musselburgh Golf Club. Geschichte Die Geschichte der Ländereien lässt sich bis in das 12. Jahrhundert zurückverfolgen. Im Jahre 1184 verpachtete Robert de Quincy sie an die Abtei Newbattle, in deren Besitz sie später de facto übergingen. Im Zuge der schottischen Reformation Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts, gelang es dem Abt Mark Ker das Anwesen seinem Familienbesitz einzuverleiben. Die ältesten Teile von Prestongrange House entstanden in der zweiten Hälfte dieses Jahrhunderts. Spätestens 1581 schien zumindest ein bewohnbares Haus bestanden zu haben. Im Laufe der Jahrhunderte wechselte das Anwesen mehrfach den Eigentümer und gehörte zu den Besitzungen der Familien Morison, Grant und Grant-Suttie. Seit 1924 ist Prestongrange House an den Royal Musselburgh Golf Club verpachtet. Beschreibung Prestongrange House liegt inmitten eines weitläufigen Anwesens am Westrand von Prestonpans. Wenige hundert Meter nördlich, unweit des Südufers des Firth of Forth, befindet sich das ehemalige Kohlebergwerk Prestongrange Colliery. Obschon das Herrenhaus auf das 16. Jahrhundert zurückgeht, wurde es mehrfach substanziell erweitert. Für das heutige Aussehen zeichnet im Wesentlichen der schottische Architekt William Henry Playfair verantwortlich, der das Gebäude in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts überarbeitete. Das Mauerwerk des komplexen, zwei- bis dreistöckigen Bauwerks besteht aus gelbem Sandstein. Markant erscheinen die verschiedenen Türme, die an den Gebäudekanten oder entlang der Fassaden halbrund oder polygonal hervortreten. Um 1850 entstand der wuchtige Turm am westlichen Abschluss. Dieser ist dreistöckig und mit umlaufender Zinnenbewehrung gestaltet.

Prestongrange Church

Die Prestongrange Church ist ein Kirchengebäude der presbyterianischen Church of Scotland in der schottischen Stadt Prestonpans in der Council Area East Lothian. 1971 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Kategorie A aufgenommen. Die Kirche ist noch als solche in Verwendung. Geschichte Bereits im 12. Jahrhundert ist eine Kirche im heutigen Prestonpans verzeichnet. Im Zuge des Rough Wooing unter Heinrich VIII. wurde diese von englischen Truppen zerstört. Mitglieder der Preston-Linie des Clans Hamilton, die ihren Familiensitz im nahegelegenen Preston Tower hatten, spendeten der Kirche das Landstück, auf dem der Vorläufer der heutigen Prestongrange Church erbaut wurde. Es handelt sich mit dem Baujahr 1595 um eines der frühesten postreformatorischen Kirchengebäude in Schottland. Die heutige Kirche wurde im Jahre 1774 errichtet. Hierbei wurden Fragmente des älteren Bauwerks integriert. Beschreibung Das Kirchengebäude liegt abseits der High Street unweit des Südufers des Firth of Forth im Norden von Prestonpans. Das Mauerwerk besteht aus Sandsteinquadern, die zu einem Schichtenmauerwerk verbaut wurden. Einzig bei den älteren Fragmenten sind Bruchsteinmauern zu finden. An der Westseite ragt der Glockenturm mit quadratischem Grundriss auf. Er schließt mit einer oktogonalen Laterne, auf der ein spitzer Helm aufsitzt. Darunter sind allseitig Turmuhren verbaut. Am Fuß tritt der Eingangsbereich mit Walmdach hervor. Vom dahinterliegenden Langhaus geht an der Nordseite ein Querhaus ab. An dessen Abschluss sind zwei Rundbogenfenster mit darüberliegendem Ochsenauge verbaut. Beiderseits des Querhauses sind jeweils einzelne Rundbogenfenster eingelassen. Von der gegenüberliegenden Südseite geht ein kleineres Querhaus ab, das jenem an der Nordseite ähnelt. Ein einzelnes großes Rundbogenfenster ziert die Ostseite der Prestongrange Church.

Prestongrange Parish Church

Prestongrange Parish Church is a Church of Scotland kirk situated in the former mining town of Prestonpans in East Lothian. Constructed in 1596, it is one of the first churches built in Scotland following the Scottish Reformation of 1560. In 1606, Prestonpans was created a parish in its own right, after centuries as part of the parish of Tranent. A church had existed south of Prestonpans since the 12th century, administered by the canons of Holyrude Abbey. However, that church, near Northfield House, was destroyed in 1544 by the earl of Hertford during the Rough Wooing campaign against the Scots after their refusal to allow Princess Mary of Scotland (later Mary, Queen of Scots) to marry Henry's son, Prince Edward. Notable ministers John Davidson, formerly of Liberton in Edinburgh was appointed first minister at the new church and financed its construction. The land was gifted by the Hamilton family, the lairds of Preston. Rev. Davidson was known for his outspokenness, unafraid to criticize bishops or even King James VI of Scots. He was imprisoned in Edinburgh in 1601 and, upon release, was banned from leaving the parish for life. Since 1596, the church has been served by 27 ministers. William Carlyle, father of Jupiter Carlyle, was minister at the time of the Battle of Prestonpans on September 21, 1745, and wrote an account of the battle after witnessing it from the church tower. William Bruce Cunningham was minister during the church split in 1843. Rev. J. Struthers served as minister for 45 years around the turn of the 20th century. Moira Herkes became the first female minister at Prestonpans upon her arrival in 1988. Changes The church was extensively refurbished in 1774 and again in 1891, resulting in the building seen today. Only the clock tower and some surrounding masonry remain from the original 1596 church; the outline of the original west gable end is still visible inside the roof. A major rift occurred within the Church of Scotland in 1843, leading many congregants to leave Preston Church, as it was then known. Led by the incumbent minister William Bruce Cunningham, the dissenting members eventually built their own church, the Free Church of Scotland, later the United Free Church, in West Loan, a few hundred yards from Preston Kirk. When the Church of Scotland and the United Free Church reunited in 1929, the former United Free Church congregation adopted the name Grange Church. In 1981, the two congregations reunited to form Prestongrange Parish Church. The kirkyard contains many notable gravestones, including those of former ministers and soldiers from the Battle of Prestonpans. References and further reading Prestonpans and Vicinity.

Prestonkirk Parish Church

Die Prestonkirk Parish Church ist ein Kirchengebäude der presbyterianischen Church of Scotland in der schottischen Ortschaft East Linton in der Council Area East Lothian. 1971 wurde das Gebäude in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Kategorie A aufgenommen. Geschichte Am Standort der heutigen Kirche wurde bereits 1127 ein dem Heiligen Baldred geweihtes Kirchengebäude beschrieben. Fragmente einer früheren Kirche sind in die heutige Prestonkirk Parish Church integriert. Diese stammen laut Historic Scotland jedoch aus dem 13. Jahrhundert. Die Prestonkirk Parish Church entstand in den 1770er Jahren und wurde an den Glockenturm angebaut, der aus dem 17. Jahrhundert stammt. Nachdem zunächst 1818 der mittelalterliche Chor überarbeitet wurde, wurden 1824 sowie 1891 weitere Umgestaltungen vorgenommen. Die Prestonkirk Parish Church war Pfarrkirche des Parishs Prestonkirk. Dieser fusionierte mit den benachbarten Gemeinden Stenton und Whittingehame zum Parish Traprain. Beschreibung Die Prestonkirk Parish Church liegt am Nordrand von East Linton unweit des Ufers des Tynes. An der Südwestseite erhebt sich der zweistöckige Glockenturm. Wie auch der Rest der Kirche, ist er schlicht gestaltet. Entlang der Fassaden sind mehrere Rundbogenfenster eingelassen. Der Turm schließt mit einer geschwungenen, schiefergedeckten Haube. Ungleich dem anschließenden Langhaus, dessen Mauerwerk aus Quadern vom roten Sandstein besteht, ist der Bruchstein am älteren Turm lediglich grob zu Quadern behauen. An der sechs Achsen weiten Südseite befinden sich zwei rundbögige Eingangsportale mit ornamentierten Schlusssteinen. Die drei Achsen weite Südfassade ist hingegen mit hohen Rundbogenfenstern gestaltet. Links tritt ein Treppenturm aus den 1890er Jahren hervor, dessen Mauerwerk aus cremefarbenem Sandstein besteht. Das Langhaus schließt mit einem schiefergedeckten Satteldach. An der Ostfassade setzt sich ein kurzer mittelalterlicher Chor fort. Er ist mit Lanzettfenstern gestaltet.
