Free ChurchAt the Disruption in 1843, the Rev. Ninian BANNATYNE and many of his congregation left the Parish Church and formed the Free Church. Within a short period they built the Free Church in Ayr Road, complete with school and manse, which opened for worship in October 1843. It remained in use until the summer of 1896 when it was demolished and work began to build the Crichton Church
Ninian Bannatyne died in 1874, he was followed as minister by Rev. Alexander ADAMSON and Rev. John WARRICK who was ordained on 22nd February 1883. Rev. Warrick wrote History of Old Cumnock published in 1899.
