| Notes: | In William Lambie Moffatt's cash book, there is an entry regarding a proposed 'parsonage' for St Mark's Church to be built in 1880. Is this the same design as that exhibited at the RSA in 1871 under 'Portobello Manse' or perhaps the one described as 'Design for a manse' exhibited in 1886? Probably the latter because of the dates. |
