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 octagonal belfry stage and spire, and 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 interior recast in 1905, retaining the Roman doric columns of the galleries. The churchyard walls retain their original railings and wrought iron gates.
