The original church was built in 1812, repaired in 1852, but was rebuilt in 1870-71 to this design by John Rhind. It was converted for use as a church hall after its closure in 1971, then closed for good in c.2005.
Currently on the Buildings At Risk Register, with vegetation and pigeons taking control, this church has been unoccupied since 2005. Consent has been given to turn it into a two bedroom dwelling (after poo removal).
