This was once a separate community and parish, with its own church and graveyard which stood in a corner of Linplum farm, to this day called kirk field. In 1743 part of the roof of the ancient church collapsed. The community was in some decline and the Presbytery decided not to repair the church but to conjoin the parish with adjoining Garvald, notwithstanding the fact that Morham church was slightly closer. The Glebe was on the north side of the road leading to Garvald and the manse stood where, in 1890, the Bara blacksmith's premises stood. The superiority of the parish was long in the hands of the Hays of Yester family and their cadets, and following the demise of Bara Kirk, Robert Hay of Bara & Linplum enclosed the churchyard with a wall and planted it with trees and shrubs. Some of the church ruins are extant and just a few of the original headstones in the totally overgrown graveyard. Some of the older headstones were readable in the 19th century and half a dozen appear in John Martine's book. Others were transcribed in the 1950s. Morham, East Lothian, sometimes spelt Moram, Morum, Morhame, etc. ... In medieval Europe, a glebe was an area of land, belonging to a parish, whose revenues contributed towards the parish expenses. ...
