Ruthwell Church, a narrow Medieval Church, still in regular public use which dates back to the 14th century.
Cummertrees, Mouswald and Ruthwell congregation successfully applied through the Government-funded Listed Places of Worship Roof Repair Fund.
Session Clerk Susan Broatch said: “Our roof repair project will stop water ingress, address key roof issues and ensure Ruthwell Church is in a watertight condition.
“This will ensure the kirk is able to fulfill its many roles in the community and will continue to protect the irreplaceable Ruthwell Cross for generations to come.”

URGENT roof repairs are to be carried out to one of the oldest buildings in south west Scotland after being awarded a £66,000 grant.
