history
According to tradition, it is an early Christian site in Scotland. Saint Boniface is said to have built a church in Tealing as early as the late 7th century. However, their exact location cannot be determined. The earliest written evidence of a church in Tealing is from the 12th century. Between 1719 and 1728 John Glass , co-founder of the Glassites , was a parish priest there. The medieval church building was demolished in 1806 and replaced by the current building. In 1895, Alexander Johnston revisedthe Tealing Parish Church. Among other things, central heating was installed here. After the merger of two parishes in 1986, the building became obsolete and transferred to the Tealing Kirk Heritage Center . In 1991 the unused structure was placed on the register of endangered listed structures in Scotland. In 2016, his condition was classified as relatively good with a moderate risk at the same time.
