Communion cup

This pewter communion cup is from the Associate Congregation Church of East Barns in East Lothian. It dates from 1781.

The inscription on the cup reads 'Belonging to the Associate Congregation of East Barns 1781'.

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.
