Honeyman, Keppie & Mackintosh were involved in interior alterations to this small early-19th century church in rural Fife in 1902. The practice received a modest payment of £16 4s 6d from Rev. Dr Baxter of Cameron Church in December of that year. 1 New seating and flooring, designed by St Andrews-based architects Gillespie & Scott, were installed at the same date. 2

Authorship: This is one of over 270 jobs carried out in the office of John Honeyman & Keppie (Honeyman, Keppie & Mackintosh from 1901) during Mackintosh's time there. Mackintosh undoubtedly worked on many of these, but there is no specific evidence for his involvement in this case.
