Revd. [Reverend] K.N. McLeod, Ellon James Keith Chapelhall George Keith Chapelton |
047 | About three hundred yards to the north of the farm of Chapelhall there Stood a small chapel, or church, Surrounded by a Grave Yard. The remains of the chapel were removed by the present tenant of the farm of Chapelhall and in the draining of of the grave yard Several Skeletons were dug up but afterwards reinterred at the same spots they were taken from. This occurred between forty and fifty years ago, and no traces whatever exist of either Chapel or burying ground the whole being at present under cultivation. The then laird of Eslemont was exceedingly angry at this act of desecration for he intended to have the grave yard enclosed and the remains Carefully preserved. The Rev [Reverend] K.N. McLeod Says that there are no records of its being an Episcopal Chapel, as the Episcopal Chapel stood near the adjoining farm of Chapelton that there can Scarcely be any doubts of its being a Roman Catholic and further that it must have Stood before the Revolution for since then Episcopacy, rather than Roman Catholicism has held its sway in this district. |
