Details Church, still in ecclesiastical use, and associated graveyard. The church was built in 1870-71 to a design by George Edmund Street. It is an early geometrical church building with granite in narrow courses and some details in freestone. The three-bay nave has transepts flush with the aisles at the eastmost bay, and a short aisleless western area. To the south-west is a towerlet with a pyramid top. The aisleless, apsed chancel has an organ chamber at the south, raised on a tall undercroft in the fall of the ground. Interior features include quatrefoil piers, a kingpost roof in the nave, a waggon roof in the chancel, a two seat sedilia and stone pulpit. The glass in the chancel is by Clayton and Bell, 1898, and there is a bell John Easton of Fraserburgh from 1725. Within the graveyard surrounding the church is the Commonwealth war grave of Stoker W. Keith, Royal Navy, who died 27 February 1919.
