This church, like several others in the eastern part of this county, is
dedicated to St. Baldred of the Bass Rock.[103] It is situated within a
mile of East Linton Railway Station. The church has originally been a
first pointed edifice, but now there only survives a small eastern choir
of that period, the main body of the church having been rebuilt. The
choir (Fig. 681), which is now cut off from the church by a solid wall,
is 15 feet long by 17 feet 6 inches wide internally. It has three tall
lancet windows of equal height in the east end (Fig. 683), separated by
first pointed buttresses of good form, as seen in the detailed sketch
(Fig. 682). The south wall has two simple lancets with hood moulds, and
on both sides there is a broad set-off below the windows. The north wall
is plain, and without special features. The building is a pleasing
fragment of first pointed work.
