Church and graveyard, still in ecclesiastical use, built in 1821 and internally remodelled in circa 1952. Warden records that a church named the Church of Glenylit or Glenlyefe and dedicated to the Blessed Virgin was mentioned in 1275 in relation to this site. It is shown on the 1st and 2nd edition OS maps as a T-plan church within a rectangular graveyard. Current maps show the graveyard has been extended to the west. It is a small oblong rubble-built gothic structure with a belfry and a slate roof. There is an attached hearse-house on the north wall that is of a later date. On an inside wall is a World War I memorial plaque, produced by Sidney Hunt Osborne and Co Ltd, London. The graveyard is a rubble walled enclosure from circa 1821, with later gatepiers.
