From Stewartry of Kirkcudbright Memorial Inscriptions pre-1855, vol 1, by Alison Mitchell, published 1990 by the Scottish Genealogy Society, Edinburgh, Scotland:
- "The medieval parish of Sennick/Senwick in Deanes was too poor and small to maintain a minister after the Reformation. Like Kirkandrews, it was united with Borgue in 1657-1670.
- "The old church on the same site since 1370 at latest, is no longer there, but a well of the manse remains. The kirkyard is on a sheltered slope above Kirkcudbright Bay. At one time it could be reached by a two-mile walk south from Mill Hall along the shore, but today the best approach is across two fields north of Balmangan.
- "Because of the slope many of the stones had subsided, but the families of Brown and of Sproat have invested much effort in recent restoration of some of them. The burial ground is a sequestered place and the grass is kept short by the District Council."
