HISTORY The property was previously the vicarage to Arthuret Church, which is situated on the outskirts of Longtown, and dates from 1150. It was originally served by the monks of Jedburgh. The present church, dedicated to St Michael and All Angels, was built in 1609 in a late Gothic style. The building was financed by a collection taken throughout the realm of King James 1st, because the people were considered to be without faith.
