Details Graveyard, still in use, and remains of a church, built in 1839. The church is rectangular in plan, of Gothick design, of pinned red granite with ashlar granite details. The gables have an advanced central bay with large pointed arch doorway and pointed arch windows above. The skews have small pinnacles and on the northwest gable is a tall bellcote. The southwest elevation has four pointed arch windows, the northwest elevation just two small irregular windows. On the northeast is a piend roofed session house. It was opened as a chapel of ease in June 1839, and became the parish church in 1895, but fell out of use in the 1950s when the congregation opted to use the former Free Church for worship. The church was complete with furnishings in 1970 but is now a roofless shell. The graveyard has a World War II Commonwealth War Grave. The Blairdaff war memorial stands on the south east side fo the church (NJ61NE0046).
