    Default Shebster Church

    Can anyone help us contact the current owners of the derelict Free Church at Shebster?

    The free Kirk may be a good starting point

    Sorry everyone. I forgot my new password, so it's taken a while to get back in here.

    Thanks for the replies, especially the DM that I was sent.

    The land and everything on it was sold and then sold again. Some time has passed, so it's not easy to find out who owns it, never mind how to contact them.

    I went to buy the church some 20 years ago...when it had a roof and floors...it was purchased by some-one in Newcastle who wanted to make it into a factory making duvets...but was refused permission by the heritage as it is protected...reason being it is the first twin peaked gabled church ever built in Scotland...so the left it to decay...hope that helped...Angel...
