Full Description
Graveyard and site of a chapel and church. There was a chapel of the Holy Trinity here, commonly called Christ's Kirk. The parish of Udny was erected and disjointed from Ellon. In 1606 a larger church was built to replace Christ's Kirk and this was in turn replaced in 1821 by a new Parish Church on a new site (NJ82NE0066). Now no trace of the church of Christ's Kirk. A few 18th and early 19th century stones in graveyard, also the Pitmedden (Setons) and Pittrichie burial enclosures, as well as a round mort house (NJ82NE0031). The graveyard has now been extended to the south. It contains the Commonwealth war grave of Gunner Alexander Black, Royal Artillery, who died 12 October 1942.
