It contains the sacrament house from an earlier church built on same site circa 1528, which probably began as the castle chapel. Within the graveyard is a Pictish symbol stone (NJ71NE0026). The arched gate to the graveyard is the war memorial (NJ71NE0150). Within the graveyard there are four World War I Commonwealth war graves.
