Church, still in ecclesiastical use, with an incorporated burial aisle. The church site probably originally dates to 1147 and was dedicated to St Briget. It was gifted to Arbroath Abbey (NO64SW0018), and was in its possession until the Reformation. The earlier church was cross-shaped, although in 1845 the NSA report the south arm had been removed. The Panbridge burial aisle formed the eastern part of the church and is dated 1681, the date at which the eastern arm of the earlier church was re-built. The current church was built in 1851, and apart from the burial aisle at the east end it completely replaced its predecessor. It is shown on the 1st edition OS map as a T-plan building, with a vault extending off the east elevation. It is set within an irregular graveyard with a partially roofed rectangular building in the north-west corner. On the 2nd edition OS map the graveyard has been extended to the north. Current maps show the graveyard has been further extended to the north and west. It is a Gothic T-plan church with a belfry, constructed of rubble with a slate roof and containing a bell dated '1664'. The Panbride burial aisle is two-storey with a vaulted chamber, and is also constructed of rubble with a slate roof. The gable spire is dated 1681. It was renovated in 1851, and the loft floor was converted to a session-house. There are jougs attached to the south wall. The Panbride War Memorial is within the graveyard to the north of the church (NO53NE0110). See also NO53NE0151 - Loupin on Stane. Within the churchyard there are two Commonwealth war graves, of Lance Corporal A Garden, Gordon Highlanders and Lieutenant Robert Finlayson, Black Watch.
