"St Mary on the Rock" by Gerald Stranraer-Mull reveals "Ellon's parish history stretches back over 900 years. However, the present church was designed by George Edmund Street, the eminent Victorian architect, and is based on the design of the mediaeval parish church of Ellon, which was destroyed in 1776. It is a Grade A listed building and was opened on June 23rd 1871. It was consecrated on September 8th 1875." and "This church replaced a smaller church at Craighall, which was opened in 1816 and which itself had replaced a series of "hidden" chapels used by the congregation during the days of the persecution of Episcopalians following their involvement in the Jacobite Risings." The Scottish Episcopal Church Year Book for 1966-7 further reveals that "Official records show that congregations formerly met in the district, at Chapelhall, Udny Green, Tillydusk, Kinharrachie and Bairnie, and were absorbed into the Ellon congregation about 1816. Udny Green Chapel and an earlier Ellon Chapel were destroyed by the military about 1746 under the powers of the Penal Laws."
