Old Photograph Reverend James Sharp Inveresk Church Musselburgh Scotland

Old photograph of Reverend James Sharp, Inveresk Church, Musselburgh, Scotland. James was the Minister at Inveresk from 1888 to 1905. There have been at least three Churches on the site of St Michael's. The first was built beside the ruins of a Roman fort. This was most likely a wooden structure which, according to legend, was built at the instigation of the intrepid Irish missionary nun Modwenna, who died in AD 519. Again, according to legend, Modwenna built Churches echoing each of King Arthur's forts.
