There are no visible remains of the medieval church buildings. The oldest remains are a burial vault - the Coxton Aisle - in the graveyard containing the tomb of Alexander Innes, who died in 1612.9 There is an effigy on top of the tomb showing a knight in full armour and the whole is surrounded by a stone niche. It is thought that the wall that the effigy is set into might be a portion of the old church building.
