Freuchie Parish Church was built in 1876 to accommodate the growing population of the village. There are beautiful stained-glass windows at the front and rear of the church. Stained glass windows by A Ballantine & Company, a Scottish manufacturer of stained-glass windows, one of several names the company worked under. The business was founded in Edinburgh by James Ballantine, born 1806, died 1877 and George Allan as Ballantine and Allan. They began making stained glass in the 1830s. In 1843, they won a competition to design windows for the new Houses of Parliament, although it was subsequently changed to that of the House of Lords in London, England. James' son, Alexander, born 1841, died 1906, joined the business, which thence became known as Ballantine and Son until 1905. Herbert Gardiner joined in 1905. Alexander's son, James Ballantine III, also joined in 1905, a year before his father's death. Some of the firm's work was signed with the alternative spelling of Ballantyne.
