== History ==
There are charters of the late 11th and early 12th centuries granting the lands of Eiton, as Ayton was then known,〔Ayton is from ''Eiton'', meaning settlement by the river. (A. D. MILLS. "Ayton." A Dictionary of British Place-Names. Oxford University Press. 2003. Encyclopedia.com. 3 Nov. 2009 )〕 to Coldingham Priory. The lands were granted by King Edgar of Scotland (ruled 1097–1107). By the end of the 12th century, the monks of Coldingham had built a chapel dedicated St. Dionysius.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=St. Dionysius' Church, Ayton )〕 The church later received an altar dedicated to the Virgin Mary, with endowments of various acres and rigs in the Lordship of Ayton.
The old chapel, which has been extensively altered and renewed over the years up to the 18th century was, originally, a simple rectangular building, but changed to a T shape with the addition of the north aisle.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=St. Dionysius' Church, Listed Building Report )〕 Many of the early Norman features were altered or even removed in the 17th and 18th centuries.
The Chapel of St. Dionysius was an important place in medieval Scotland, it played host to several meetings of commissioners from Scotland and England, in their efforts to come to treaty, including those in 1380, 1384 and 1497.〔 The meeting of 1497 involved the Spanish diplomat Pedro de Ayala on behalf of James IV of Scotland with representatives of Henry VII of England, and the outcome was a seven-year truce.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Where in the world is Ayton? )〕 St. Dionysius' Church continued as a Roman Catholic place of worship in the hands of the monks of Coldingham until the Scottish Reformation, when it became part of the reformed church.
