The Minister of South Berwick was the head of the medieval house of non-mendicant Augustinian Trinatarian friars (also known as Red Friars) in the Scottish border town of South Berwick. The income of the house was allocated equally towards the upkeep of the brethren, the sustenance of the poor and the poor travellers and the recovery of crusader captives. The house was founded before 1240–8. Each house comprised a minister and five brethren.[1] The names of all of the ministers are incomplete.
