Peter MacClure came on tour on 29 June 2022. His great-grandparents, Robert Allen and Mary Jane Gambles married in 1877 and lived in Ducrow for a few years until they emigrated to New Zealand. Mary Jane was a daughter of Jean Linnay from Ducrow. Robert was born in Sandwick but his mother later married Robert Eunson and moved to Thistlequoy in Holm. He greatly appreciated his visit to the Kirk and to Ducrow, and looking through the Holm Heritage archive.
Holm Community Heritage at St. Nicholas Kirk is dedicated to keeping the Ould Kirk in the ownership of the Community on a cultural, historical and social level as well as preserving this irreplaceable building and the character of the area for the future generations. Through themed exhibitions, concerts, book launches, an accessible wealth of archives and even weddings, it aims to bring the community together and share the area’s rich heritage.
