Tour Scotland photograph of Collessie Church, North Fife, Scotland. This Scottish church was consecrated by the Bishop of St. Andrews in July 1243. It is mentioned in charters of both 1252 and 1262, and so was complete by those dates. Prior to the Reformation, the church was in the ownership of the Bishop of Lindores and was dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The church was remodelled in 1839 to a T-plan form and has remained virtually unchanged since that date. The churchyard has been used since at least the 12th century. It was extended both in 1840 and 1871.
