Details Church, built on site of earlier church. The earliest recorded church on this site dates to the 17th Century. There is now no trace of this church apart from a few dated stones built into the modern church built on same site. Three date stones are built into the east gable of the present church: 1616, 1763 and 1869. Designed by James Matthews 1868-9, the church is a plain gothic T-plan building, harled with grey granite margins. It has re-entrant porches on the West and South elevations. The bellcote atop the West gable dates from 1644, and has triangular pediments on the East and West faces and semi-circular pediments n the North and South faces, and houses a bell dated 1836 (Abernethy).
