Details St. Mary's church and house still in use. Built in 1841 by James Ross, although the aisle was added later. The principal, west, gable, front is of ashlar granite, the central bay slightly advanced, and with three tall, narrow windows (the side ones are dummies) and crowned by a pinnacled bellcote. The large chancel at the east end (added by William White (London) in 1857) has three tall, spaced lancets and enclosing hood-mould. The bishop turned down a design by a local builder, suggesting the church at Portsoy as a model. The glass dates from 1858 to 1945 and is very variable in quality. The Mitchell window of 1908, by the pulpit, with bold blues is excellent. The hall housed St Mary's Episcopal school, with 64 children in 1892.' The churchyard contains two Commonwealth war graves.
