Newburn Parish Records
- Newburn Church
The church of Newburn, which was anciently known as Drumeldrie, was
dedicated to St Serf and belonged prior to the Reformation to the Abbey
of Dunfermline. Between the years 1522-1539 the old church was rebuilt
by the Archbishop of St Andrews and this building was later replaced in
1815 by the present day church. In 1958 Newburn was united with the
parish of Largo to form the congregation of Largo and Newburn and the
united charge later established a link with Largo St David's in 1987.
The kirk session sits within the Presbytery of St Andrews.
