Description

The Parish Church and Tolbooth Steeple in Pittenweem is a significant building dating from 1588. It features a four-storey tower with a vaulted basement, which originally served as the tolbooth, and a stair turret. The bell-chamber, made of ashlar, has a balustraded parapet and a stone spire that was added around 1630. The church may include the "dortour" of the Priory, with an inset stone dated 1532. Initially a simple harled rectangle, the church was remodeled and extended into a T-plan with the addition of a northern aisle, which has a uniquely detailed stugged ashlar gable front, completed in 1882 by architect James Brown from Pittenweem. Inside, there is a 1633 Putensen bell and a panel depicting the Last Supper in the vestry.
