The edifice has unfortunately been almost entirely destroyed. In 1560 it was resolved “that the Kirk of Restalrig, as a monument of Idolatrie be [Illustration: FIG. 1424.--Restalrig Collegiate Church. Plan of Chapter House.] [Illustration: FIG. 1425.--Restalrig Collegiate Church. Section.] raysit and utterlie caste downe and destroyed.” This was apparently done, as it is recorded that the ashlar work from the church was used by a [Illustration: FIG. 1426.--Restalrig Collegiate Church. Jambs and Mouldings of Windows.] certain citizen “to big his hous with.” In 1836 the church was restored, being practically rebuilt. In the churchyard, however, there still exists a somewhat remarkable structure. Externally it is a mausoleum-like building, covered with turf. It is sometimes supposed to be “the crypt or family vault erected by Sir Robert Logan of Restalrig (who died 1440-41), by whom indeed it may have been built, while it has been used as such by successive proprietors.” “It was undoubtedly [Illustration: FIG. 1427.--Restalrig Collegiate Church. Vaulted Roof.] attached to the college, perhaps as the chapter house or St. Triduan’s Chapel.” [Illustration: FIG. 1428. Restalrig Collegiate Church. Pier and Arch Ribs.] This building is a hexagon on plan (Fig. 1424), measuring 29 feet in internal diameter, and stands about 3 feet from the south wall of the church, against which the angle buttresses have impinged. On each of the three sides facing towards the south there is a window, now built up, each of which has a very flat four-centred arch, and contains three cusped lights (Fig. 1425), divided by two mullions. The section of the jambs and mullions is shown in Fig. 1426. The roof is vaulted (Fig. 1427) with ribs springing from a central pier, which has a filleted roll towards each angle (Fig. 1428). [Illustration: FIG. 1429.--Restalrig Collegiate Church. Details of Carved Bosses and Caps.] The ribs of the vault are moulded, and there is a ridge rib running round, with bosses and shields at the junctions with the other ribs (see Fig. 1427). The ribs spring from the caps of the central pillar and the caps of shafts in the angles. The style of the carving of these caps and the foliage of the bosses is evidently of the third or late period (Fig. 1429). From its use as a sepulchral vault the floor has now been greatly filled up with earth, which rises almost to the caps of the central shaft and wall shafts. It is not known when the turf was piled up over the roof, but it is very desirable that it should be removed, and the windows opened up, and the interior cleaned out. It would then be seen to be, as Mr. Laing says, “a charming specimen of the architecture of the fifteenth century.” NEWLANDS CHURCH, PEEBLESSHIRE.
