Full Description
Parish church built in 1812 (probably by Robert Mitchell). It is rectangular in plan, harled with granite margins, with a gothic, jerkin-head, slate roof. There is a small west tower with an octagonal belfry stage, a spire, and a clockface with 61 minutes. There are two large arched windows in the side walls and smaller ones in the gables: the church retains its original glass except at the east window. A session house was added in 1854. Internal alterations were carried out in 1895, and the was interior recast in 1905 - retaining the Roman doric columns of the galleries. The churchyard walls retain their original railings and wrought-iron gates.
