Penninghame kirk session

A church court that sat within the presbytery of Wigtown, later of Wigtown and Stranraer, and the synod of Galloway. The church of Penninghame, which held a dedication to St Ninian, belonged prior to the reformation to the Archdeacon of Galloway. In 1777 the old church was removed to an alternative location at Newton Stewart and this church was later rebuilt in around the year 1850.
