 The church of St Cuthbert was consecrated by David de Bernham, Bishop of St Andrews on 16 March 1242; this was likely a re-consecration to correct the loss of any previous record of consecration.In 1251, Bishop David annexed the parsonage of St Cuthbert's to Holyrood, whereafter it became a perpetual vicarage, usually held by one of the canons of Holyrood.By the 15th century, the church contained multiple subsidiary altars served by chaplains.
