History and Design
Several church buildings have been used throughout the history of the parish. The earliest recorded presence of a church in the area is in 1241, the ruins of which lie in the woods beside Yester House, to the south-west of the village centre. A church also once stood at Duncanlaw, a former settlement to the south-east of the main village.
The present building dates to 1708, and stands in the centre of the village.
