This is the Hurlet, now a smart restaurant but was a garage (gas station) up to 1996. This is the nearest I can get to the Hurlet Holm Building at this stage. The fact that it was a garage might imply that it had an industrial use over the years. NB: This might make a suitable refreshment stop during our tour.

As far as I can ascertain ( from talking to locals) Levern Church became derelict and was destroyed by fire over 20 years ago.The site was then flattened and turned into a caravan park (trailer park). The image below is, apparently, where the church stood. One of the caravan residents remembers the church well and acted as best man at a wedding there.
