Details Church, still in ecclesiastical use, founded by the Rt. Rev. James Kyle in 1834. The style of the tower suggests William Robertson may have assisted with the working drawings. It building is a rubble-built octagon with lunette windows, and a tetrastyle pedimented ashlar front-piece surmounted by a three-stage tower of Spanish baroque character with console scrolls. The belfry top stage has concave sides surmounted by a console crown. There is an impressive saucer domed interior with seven contemporary Spanish religious paintings, altar piece and stencilled decoration of circa 1902. There is also a Mears bell from 1834.
