Tucked away in the quiet street of Rotten Row is this Scottish Episcopal Church. The building has an interesting history having originally been built in the grounds of Craigforth, a house near Chapel Green but, upon the death of the houseowner in 1932, was moved in its entirety to its present location.

Near the beginning of Chapel Green Road NT4899 : Chapel Green Road, Earlsferry this rough path is Sea Tangle Road which provided access to the beach (before Chapel Green Road was constructed) for removing sea weed as fertiliser and to the ‘Colbrochie’, which was where a coal seam came to the surface at the beach and was exploited by local residents.

Seen here across the harbour from The Terrace. The Granary (now private flats) is built on what was once an island which could only be reached at low tide. In 1835 engineer Robert Stevenson surveyed the harbour and the plans he produced began to be implemented in 1853 when Sir William Baird bought Elie Estate. The present causeway, road and pier were completed within two years. This development led to the resurgence of Elie as a harbour and port.

Looking westwards. The gates of Elie church are on the right.

The church was opened for worship on 17 April 1639. The steeple was not part of the original church but was added in 1726 and is a curiosity in that it has only three clock faces. There being no houses to the north of the church at the time there was no need to place a clock on that side! The path on the right leads through the churchyard to Kirkpark Road. The path on the left leads to a garden of remembrance.
In 2009 Elie church joined with Colinsburgh and Kilconquhar parish churches and the three churches are now collectively known as 'East Neuk Trinity Church'. Kilconquhar Parish Church was also linked with St Monans Parish Church in 2017.
