AGM and ‘Crosses, Kirks, and Wells: Religious Landscapes of the East Neuk'

The Annual General Meeting of the Society was held on Monday 1st May 2023 at 7pm in Earlsferry Town Hall
THE AGM was followed by a talk by St Andrews University research fellow Dr Bess Rhodes entitled ‘Crosses, Kirks, and Wells: Religious Landscapes of the East Neuk', describing how religious activity has profoundly shaped the landscapes of the East Neuk. As far back as the seventh century carved stones with Christian symbols were being erected in the area, and later on church buildings formed a focal point for its communities. Dr Rhodes’ talk examined the influence of religion on the East Neuk and the ways in which the relationship between faith and place has evolved across the centuries.
