KEMPT SHORE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

In 1850 George Armstrong made provision for a private cemetery on his land. He also made the cemetery available to his neighbours. On April 23, 1858, George Armstrong and his wife Martha conveyed in trust two acres of land to Thomas Glenn and Alexander McNeil of Kempt as trustees. The congregation had subscribed money to purchase the land and erect a church of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland. It is believed that this land included the private cemetery, as there are gravestones in the church yard that pre-date the construction of the church. In 1865 a church was erected on this site. It is believed that the church was built by the Armstrong family and the congregation.
