Details Former Parish Church, now in residential use, and a graveyard. It is also known as Kinnettles Parish Kirk. It was built in 1812 by Samuel Bell, architect, and is probably close to the site of an earlier church that was in the graveyard, and was demolished in the same year. The graveyard walls were also rebuilt in 1812. The NSA of 1845 dates the old church to probably the 12th century. It also records there being tombstones in the graveyard dating to 1626 and 1630, although when visited by OS in 1967 these could not be confirmed due to weathering. It is shown on the 1st edition OS map as a rectangular church with a small addition on the north elevation. On the 2nd edition OS map, there is a larger addition to the north elevation, incorporating or replacing the previous one, and a second addition on the east elevation. It is a rectangular, gothic, rubble-built church with a belfry, a small square bellcote and a slate roof. The graveyard is enclosed by rubble walls rising to 8 feet high (2.4 metres). The tombstones reported as being 17th century are against the east wall.
