FENWICK PARISH CHURCH




Join us each Sunday for worship at 10:30 am in the church or you can watch live
on our YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@fenwickchurch4100/streams



Think of Fenwick and you may think first of our attractive and historical white
washed Kirk with its crow stepped gables.  Built in 1643 it has been described
by visitors in various terms as quaint, a beautiful wee Kirk, and as a place of
God’s presence and peace.  As a building it points to the wonderful heritage of
the Parish.  But, we are more than that!




Fenwick Parish Church is a lively, active and busy congregation.   We serve a
semi rural population, centred on the village of Fenwick but including the
hamlets of Waterside and Moscow as well as a large rural hinterland. The make-up
of the congregation is mixed from the very young to the not so young. The Kirk
Session and congregation are rising to the challenge of melding the traditional
with the contemporary.  Sunday morning worship is a mix of organ led and band
led praise and seeks to be inclusive of the generations.  Members of the
congregation are involved in scripture readings, prayer and occasional dramas.
We seek to be outward looking as a congregation, running and hosting regular
events for the entire community and are actively involved in supporting a number
of overseas projects.

     Hi. My Great Grandparents were married in Fenwick about 1847 and I would
     like to know if your parish records are still held at the kirk, or at some
     other repository. We are hoping to visit from Australia during 2016, but
     this is contingent upon on health as we are getting on.
     If you could reply to Email I would very much appreciate it.
     Regards
     Eric Edwards

       Hi Bill, Your Great Grandfather, Andrew Burns saw the last tragic event
       in the life of the Old Fenwick Parish Church. It happened on the evening
       before the November Communion of 1929. A spark from the Church’s boiler
       set alight to the roof and the Church was totally destroyed. Only the
       walls remained standing and all that was saved internally was the Sand
       Glass and its stand. In a short space of time the Church was rebuilt and
       restored to its former glory. We have very few records in the church but
       his name is on our Ministers Board displayed in the church and there is a
       picture of him in our vestry. Contact us when you are going to be in the
       area and we can arraign a tour.

     I am visiting Scotland for the first time and am enjoying some time
     researching ancestry. I believe one of my ancestors was buried in your
     cemetery in the 1800s. Is the cemetery open to public to visit?

     Hello-
     Find a Grave lists my greatX4 grandmother Ann Craig Dunlop (1760-1791) as
     being buried in the Fenwick Parish Churchyard. There is no photo of her
     grave on the memorial here: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/185288627
     
     Is there a way to confirm that she is in fact buried there?
     
     Thanks for your help- it is MUCH appreciated.

     hi, trying to find out if Robert Buntine is buried in your church grounds?
     He was born in Fenwick about 1630 and was executed on 19th Dec 1666 in
     Glasgow as a result of the Pentland Rising of that year. i have a photo of
     what looks like a gravestone of his. He is my 9th Great Grandad.
     thank you and God bless
     
     Martin

     Good morning from the west coast of Canada…. my 4 x great grandfather James
     Currie was baptized in Fenwick on April 9th 1788. His mother is said to be
     Jane Stevenson and in what looks like in the ancient script ‘ in Pehilly’.
     I can find no local reference to any variant of what the spelling of
     ‘Pehilly’ looks like and wonder if you, with local knowledge can help?
     Thank you in advance for any help.

       Hi Rhona
       James Currie was actually baptised 9th April 1780. His parents were James
       Currie(1752-1827) and Janet Stevenson in Pokelly.

     Greetings, we are considering moving to the lovely, little town of Fenwick.
     It is my husband, Angus (Scottish descent) and myself (born in Zambia)
     together with our lovely, well-behaved, much-loved dog, Didi (Donna di Dio
     in Italian which means Gift from God).
     
     We have children and grand-children living in nearby Nielston, as well as
     in London, Bath and Midsomer Norton. Although many years of our marriage
     have been spent in Cape Town, we have recently lived in Sicily for 4 years.
     I am a Lay Preacher, a Psychotherapist, a wannabe writer and passionate
     about taking people on wilderness encounters to gain life-changing insights
     from nature http://www.wildernessencountersafrica.com.
     
     We look forward to being a part of this lively congregation and to
     contributing all we can. If there is anyone we can converse with and get to
     know the church a little in advance, that would be lovely.
     with warmth, Mandy

     Hi from Japan.
     I’ve just learned that Stiven Wallace was born in Fenwick in 1695. He
     married Martha Gillmowr and they had two sons Stiven and James.
     Which records and parish history could the church help me accessing?
     My son is doing a family history project for school. He’s interested in the
     patterns of movement in a parish, the community and across parish and civil
     lines.
     Please stay safe during the COVID-19 pandemic and may God be with you.
     Peace unto all.
