Full Description
Former parish church, now in residential use, graveyard and site of pre-reformation church. The present church, dedicated to St Triduana, was built in 1801, is harled on a rectangular plan, with porch and a bellcote at the north gable. There are two round-arched windows in the west gable. Prior to its conversion into a dwellinghouse, inside were two laird's pews at the west corners and one in the gallery, a U-plan gallery on cast-iron columns and font-bowl at porch door. The bell is dated 1612 and the church contains two stones dated 1615 from the earlier belfry. The pre-reformation church was extant in the 16th-17th centuries. The Kinellar Pictish Stone (NJ81SW0004) is now housed within the church, and is visible through a glass panel. The graveyard contains two Commonwealth war graves. A photographic survey of the church was undertaken in 2014 in advance of its conversion.
