Parish church, still in ecclesiastical use. It was built in 1799 on the site of its medieval predecessor. By the time the present church was built its predecessor was ruinous, and there are now no visible remains of it. A healing well, known as 'Brawl's' or 'St. Brule's' well, is associated with the church, but was drained by the late-19th century. The church was repaired in circa 1840 and 1849, and there were additions in 1884. It is shown on the 1st edition OS map as a T-plan church within an oblong graveyard. On the 2nd edition OS map the 1884 additions are visible, with extensions to the north-west and south-west elevations. Current maps show the graveyard has been extended to the north-west. It is a rubble-built church with two original two-light windows and a square ogee capped bellcote on the south-west elevation. The graveyard is enclosed with low walls, with a gate in the centre of the south-east wall with ball finials, and obelisks at the angles. There are a few tombstones of note, including some 18th century stones and an Adam and Eve stone. Two prostate stones leaning against the north-east of the church may be those referred to by Warden (1880-5) as covering the graves of 'Danish generals'. The Strathcathro War Memorial (NO66NW0105) is also within the graveyard.
