A 700-year-old village church is to be given double glazing after its new owners said it would help secure its future.

Garvald Parish Church, in East Lothian, was built for the nuns of St Mary's Abbey in Haddington in the 12th century and cared for by them for two centuries before the last abbess gifted it to the town's presbytery.

Sold by the Church of Scotland to private owners, Nunraw Chapel Ltd applied for permission to replace the Gothic single glazed windows with slimline double glazing glass to improve its sustainability.

The application included images of the inside of the church windows with ice on them alongside a statement saying the change would "go some way to ensure it can continue to be used as a place of worship and serve the local and wider community".
