Parish church and graveyard, still in ecclesiastic use, built in 1811-2 by David Neave, architect, partly on the site of its predecessor. Warden (1884) states that the church was originally gifted to Arbroath Abbey (NO64SW0018) by William the Lion in the 12th century, and that the bell bears the date '1718', when the previous church was probably erected. The present church was altered in the 1880s, and again in 1901-3 by James H. Langlands, architect. There is a hearse-house to the west of the church, probably built in the early-19th century. It is shown on the 1st edition OS map as a rectangular church with the western elevation widening at the north, set to the north of a rectangular graveyard. The hearse-house is shown as a rectangular building in the north-west corner of the graveyard. On the 2nd edition OS map, it there is an L-plan addition to the east elevation. It is a plain, oblong, gothic, rubble-built church, with a slate roof and a small belfry. The hearse house is a small, plain, oblong building, also constructed of rubble with a slate roof. There are 18th century gravestones in graveyard. His also contains the Second World War Commonwealth war grave of Guardsman Ralph Hardie McKenzie, Scots Guards. The Monikie Parish War memorials (First and Second World Wars) are held in Monikie Parish Church, in the form of two commemorative plaques. A full transcription of the memorial is held in the AAS Digital Archive. The manse (NO53NW0076) is to the east.
