| Looking through the front entrance, on the west face of the church, to the east gables. Compounding the problems of St. Andrews: lead, used to seal seams in the stone roof, was stripped away by English troops in the Scottish wars of independence, for use in munitions. If storm, sea, fire and war were not enough, St. Andrews was also a victim of religion: John Knox delivered a sermon in a nearby church in 1509 that inflamed the listeners against "popery," and a crowd promptly marched to the cathedral and destroyed much of the inside. By the 1600s, the cathedral was viewed by locals as mostly a source of stone for building the town, with little interest in restoration. © 2004 Lawrence I. Charters |
