Communion cups

Add to album

This pair of pewter communion cups comes from the Associate Congregation Church of Crieff. They date from 1823.

The cups are engraved with the inscription: 'Constitutional Assote. Congregation Crieff 1823'.

The Associate Congregation was one of the groups that broke from the established Church of Scotland at the original secession in 1733. Secessions and the Disruption of 1843 increased the need for communion cups, basins and lavers.
