Wikipedia, June 12, 2020 (Rosslyn Chapel, formerly known as the Collegiate Chapel of St Matthew, is a 15th-century chapel located in the village of Roslin, Midlothian, Scotland; founded on a small hill above Roslin Glen as a Catholic collegiate church in the mid-15th century; after the Scottish Reformation (1560), Catholic worship in the chapel was brought to an end. From that time, the chapel was closed to public worship until 1861. It was re-opened as a place of worship according to the rites of the Scottish Episcopal Church, a member church of the Anglican Communion; remains privately owned. The current owner is Peter St Clair-Erskine, 7th Earl of Rosslyn; construction of the chapel began on 20 September 1456, although it has often been recorded as 1446)
