Full Description
Church, built as Liff Free Church in 1843. Broad rectangular-plan, 4-bay church of rubble construction with stugged and margined dressings. Round-headed windows with droved and chamfered margins, with louvred apertures to the roof space. The slate roof has coped skews with skewblocks. A corniced birdcage bellcote with a bell is to the north gable, a block finial is to the south gable, a ridge ventilator and corniced wall head stacks are to the west elevation. Coped rubble boundary walls with a north entrance pyramidal-capped stugged ashlar west gatepier and a round-headed stone east gatepost. The church is of modest architectural quality, but is listed particularly because it dates from 1843, the year of the Disruption. The church is still in ecclesiastical use as the Church of Scotland Muirhead Church. Within the churchyard is the Muirhead War Memorial (NO33SW0111).
