The site of Greenlaw Parish Church has been home to a place of worship since the 1100's, although the present building stands on the medieval foundations it dates to around the 1670's.
Greenlaw was at the time the county town of Berwickshire and work to extend the church took place in the early 1700's, for example the tower, completed in 1712 was planned as a tollbooth or prison, whilst at the same time the church was lengthened, East and West lofts were added around ten years later. During the later part of the 1780's the North loft was added and in the mid 1850's the North aisle was constructed.
