Oldhamstocks

Oldhamstocks or Aldhamstocks ("old dwelling place") is a civil parish and small village in the east of East Lothian, Scotland, adjacent to the Scottish Borders and overlooking the North Sea .

The church was consecrated by Bishop David de Bernham, 19 October 1242.

Prior to 1891 the parish was also partly in Berwickshire and had a detached portion at Butterdean of 1417 acres.

The detached portion was transferred to Coldingham, Berwickshire, while the main part of the parish is now wholly within East Lothian.

[3] In 1650 Oliver Cromwell spent a night in the village prior to defeating the Scots at the Battle of Dunbar.
