Cartoon, The Intruder at Ellon, The Intruders Return Home

Add to album

This cartoon entitled 'The Intruder at Ellon, The Intruder's Return Home' was possibly drawn by an Edinburgh artist and caricaturist, Benjamin Crombie. It is one of a series of cartoons on the disputes between the Church of Scotland and the government.

The cartoon records one of the cases in which the congregations and presbyteries opposed the appointment of the minister by a patron.

The greatest in a succession of splits to affect the Church of Scotland came on 18 May 1843, when around 470 ministers walked out of the General Assembly over the question of who should appoint ministers and the respective rights of Church and State.
