Church Overview

The present Kincardine in Menteith Church replaced a much older building across the road, which, surrounded by a graveyard, can still be visited. The church was built 1814-16 to designs by Richard Crichton. The chancel was added in 1907 to designs by H.O. Tarbolton. The style is Perpendicular Gothic of a three-bay nave, chancel and square tower.

Many of the memorials from the older church were moved to the new, and join a host of coats of arms from benefactor families, stained glass windows, ancient artefacts and a stained glass war-memorial window. These include a painted sign proclaiming “This is the place of publick repentence.” The furnishings, including the pulpit, font, communion table and reredos, date from the 1907 re-ordering.
