Madderty Free Church
History— Regular supply was provided for Madderty immediately after the Disruption and the charge was sanctioned in August 1844. Delayed by difficulty in securing a site, the church and manse were not built until 1845. Both were renovated in 1891 with an addition being made to the manse. The district is entirely rural. The population steadily decreased after 1843. Membership: 1848, 163; 1900, 88. Source: Annals of the Free Church of Scotland, 1843–1900, ed. Rev. William Ewing, D.D., 2 vols. pub. 1914. Film #918572.
