The present St Cuthbert’s Church dates to 1892-5 but there has been a church on this site since 730AD, making it one of the oldest established churches in Edinburgh.
The inscription on the lintel is: "God bless the baxters of Edinbrugh [sic]who built this house 1675". The Ancient Incorporation of Baxters (bakers) had a long association with Dean Village, where there were several mills which provided the baxters with flour.
