History
The Rev. William Corrin (the Vicar from 1824 to 1859) started church services in a local farmhouse at Cregneish and these continued until the villagers felt that they would like a church of their own.
The foundation stone, of the present church, was laid by Mrs EM Gawne in 1878 (who also donated the land). A later vicar, the Rev. John Duffield in his book A History of Kirk Christ Rushen, was to record that ‘the building cost £150 which seems an absurdly small amount until we realise that to the building, “the people of Cregneish gave their time and labour”.
