At the Reformation the possessions of the church and chapel dependent on

it fell to Queen Mary’s brother, the Earl of Moray, who was Prior of

St. Andrews. They were afterwards seized by the Earl of Morton, and, at

his forfeiture, passed to the Crown. They were next presented by James

VI. to his favourite, Esmé, Duke of Lennox, as a temporal lordship; and

ultimately came into the hands of the Earl of Hopetoun.

It has already been mentioned that the building of the church does not

appear to have suffered from any outbreak at the Reformation; but the

fabric has been damaged to a considerable extent. The town was subjected

to a siege in 1548, when it was held by the English after the battle of

Pinkie, and was attacked and taken by the Scots and their French allies.

It is not unlikely that the church may have suffered damage at that

time, as it is stated that certain of the chapels did.
