Background
History
Since the 12th century, Jedburgh Abbey has been Jedburgh's principal building. During the Scottish Reformation around 1560, the abbey was dissolved. The abbey church then served as the parish church. After the former abbey church had become both dilapidated and too small for the growing congregation by the 1870s, a new church was built. Schomberg Kerr, 9th Marquess of Lothian, provided both money and land for this project. Construction began in 1872 and was completed in 1875. The Anglo-Irish architect Thomas Henry Wyatt was responsible for the design. An extension in 1888 was designed by the Scottish architect Hippolyte Blanc. .
