Got married in Penpont Church in September, 1966 by Mr. Inglis. Used to go to the village fete which centered round the Manse. Lots of wee booths with baking by local ladies I recall. Prizes for the best in each category. Brought both of my sons back to Penpont to be christened also by Rev. Inglis.
It was in early 1965 I with the young lady who was to become my wife went to see the minister Rev John H.A.Inglis at this manse to see if he would marry us,this he duly did on the 25th of September of that year and we are still together 42 years later The manse is now privately owned,a new manse was built a few years ago and it may olso be privately owned, as the minister lives in Thornhill now, being in charge of several parishes.
