Norrieston Church History
The Church & Village
Norrieston is a quoad sacra parish formed in 1878 and lies within the civil parish of Kincardine in Menteith. Norrieston parish (approx. 70 sq. miles) consists mainly of the village of Thornhill (pop. approx. 500) and outlying farming areas. Thornhill is one of the earliest planned villages in Scotland, having been established in 1696.
Church
The present church was built in 1879 and replaced a former building dating from around 1650. Extensive repairs have been carried out on the fabric in 1995 and 2013 and so a relatively maintenance-free period of years is anticipated. Church Hall
The hall was originally Norrieston Free Church, built in 1844. It was extensively renovated in 1969 and is in very good condition.

Help me to avoid every sin
Thanks to Thee, O God, that I have risen today, To the rising of this life itself; may it be to Thine own glory, O God of every gift, and to the glory, aid Thou my soul. With the aiding of Thine own mercy, even as I clothe my body with wool, cover Thou my soul with the shadow of Thy wing. Help me to avoid every sin, and the source of every sin to forsake, and as the mist scatters on the crest of the hills, may each ill haze clear from my soul, O God.
