Dist:0.7km<br/>The church, built in 1890 and funded by the Wemyss family of Wemyss, was known as St. Adrian's Church. Built as a chapel of ease, the church was threatened with closure in the 1970s but the Wemyss family intervened with the offer of funding any external repairs provided the church remained as a place of worship and the congregation took care of any internal requirements. West Wemyss Church is now part of Buckhaven and Wemyss Parish.
