Full Description
Former church, no longer in ecclesiastical use, and associated graveyard. The church, built in 1838 by John Smith, is rectangular in plan, of rough hewn granite, with four slender round-arched windows on the east flank and a north gable gently elaborated by a projecting centre and spiky bellcote. The interior is largely original with marble tablets to Farquharsons of Whitehouse from 1838 onwards. There is a simple iron and granite mortsafe in the kirkyard. The graveyard contains three Commonwealth war graves, one of the First World War, two from the Second World War.
