| RAB 292/278 | Engraving of Terregles Church from the SW. Titled 'Terreagles. This ancient church is situated about two miles from Dumfries, and belonged to the family of Heriz; the first of whom we find mentioned is William de Heriz in 1152; they were afterwards created Lords Herries of Terreagles in 1443. The title and lands came to the family of Nithsdale, by the marriage of the eldest daughter of William, 4th Lord Herries, with Sir John Maxwell, the ancestor of the Earls of Nithsdale. This estate is now the property of William Constable, Esq. by marriage with Lady Winifrid, sole heiress of the family of Nithsdale. In this building there are the remains of Norman, Saxon, Gothic and modern architecture. In the inside, at the west end, lies the tombstone of Sir Herbert Herries, with his figure rudely cut in Bas. reliev. He was one of the hostages for King James I anno 1443, and was one of the Lords who sat on the trial of Murdoch, Duke of Albany. Near this monument is preserved the remains of the Provost's chair of Lincluden, curiously cut in oak. A fine statue of Johannes de Sacro Bosco was brought and deposited here at the reformation, but now defaced and broke. This view is from the S. W. 1788.'
