From the Canmore website:
'John Knox's' Kirk: Within the garden of Longniddry House is a fragment of a chapel of indeterminate age. The building has been rectangular on plan and orientated; 31ft of the N wall, which is 2 3/4ft in thickness, remains to a height of 9ft, as well as several courses of the W gable return. The masonry is of light-coloured rubble. Chalmers (1810) writes that the chapel 'is popularly called John Knox's Kirk" and this appears to be the earliest allusion to the idea that John Knox preached here while staying at Longniddry
