An unusual form of commemoration: this man, not on a local memorial, is remembered by a communion flagon. Normally stored in safekeeping, my thanks to the session clerk for bringing it out for me to see.
Thusfar his actual connection to Westruther looks elusive.

proud & loving memory

Westruther Parish Church was scheduled to close at the end of August.
Due to national emergency there has instead been no services since March.
There is now a service of closure on Sunday coming (13th September).
Flagon will likely pass to whichever adjacent parish Westruther is united with. |
