Full Description
Church and its associated graveyard, both still in use. The church is dated 1789 but has a 17th Century belfry which sits on a small balustrade. The church is rectangular in plan with round-headed windows, a harled exterior, and a slated roof. On the north side is an aisle, dated 1754, of the Leslies of Warthill and the vestry, which has beetle-browed faces at the skew putts. The burial place of later Leslies of Warthill is against the south wall. The interior of the church was recast in 1930.
