This church, like several others in the eastern part of this county, is dedicated to St. Baldred of the Bass Rock.[103] It is situated within a mile of East Linton Railway Station. The church has originally been a first pointed edifice, but now there only survives a small eastern choir of that period, the main body of the church having been rebuilt. The choir ([Fig. 681]), which is now cut off from the church by a solid wall, is 15 feet long by 17 feet 6 inches wide internally. It has three tall lancet windows of equal height in the east end ([Fig. 683]), separated by first pointed buttresses of good form, as seen in the detailed sketch ([Fig. 682]). The south wall has two simple lancets with hood moulds, and on both sides there is a broad set-off below the windows. The north wall is plain, and without special features. The building is a pleasing fragment of first pointed work.
