2. Who built Borrie church?

3. Could an investigation of the western part of Borrie church help in the search for

answers to the questions about the date and foundation of the church?

By using matrices and photographs I put together an analysis and a discussion which

investigated problems. Difficulties arose due to the lack of time and the lack of field work.

The results of this essay is not a definite date of the foundation of the church or the name of

the person who built it. The result is the work this essay presents and how its method has

brought the problem to the surface and laid the foundation for future investigation. It also

shows that photographs as material for an investigation of buildings works very well if

completed with relevant methods and facts. (Less)
