Kinnettles Free Church
History— The people here adhering to the Free Church came together under the lead of Mrs. Harvey and temporary supply was provided in June 1843. The charge, designed to serve three parishes, was sanctioned in 1845. Church and manse were erected in 1846. The manse was enlarged in 1870, and about the same time a range of stabling was provided. The church suffered through depopulation of the district and other changes. At the death of the first minister in 1895, it was put in charge of an ordained preacher. Membership: 1848, 125; 1900, 67. Source: Annals of the Free Church of Scotland, 1843–1900, ed. Rev. William Ewing, D.D., 2 vols. pub. 1914. Film #918572. More details may be given in the source.

Episcopalians
The New Statistical Account of Scotland, dated January 1835, FHL book 941 B4sa Ser. 2, vol. 11 pt. 2, states that at that time there were sixteen Episcopalian families in the parish. However, there was no chapel for them within the parish. Therefore, they would have traveled to church in a neighboring parish, such as Kirriemuir.
