Eyemouth Old united with Eyemouth St John's on 5th October 1954.

Services ceased at the Old church in 1966 (it is now the local Museum).

So, quite unusually, the Free Church building is now the Parish Church.

These items were therefore moved up to the St John's (ex-Free) building.

This roll and adjacent plaque from Eyemouth St Johns UF* have been relocated to southeast corner of new vestibule under gallery.

Their associated crosses and plaque to 2nd Lieut Thomas M Miller^ looked to still be at their previous places.
