Church Overview

The present building was consecrated in 1878, designed by Paley and Austin of Lancaster – their only Scottish church. Nave-and-aisles church with strong square tower with pyramidal slated roof. The intricately carved rood screen, based on a medieval screen in Gloucestershire and designed by H O Tarbolton, was given by the family of Sir John Kerr, one-time Governor of Bengal. The font is a copy of a 15th-century font in Suffolk. Organ by J & A Mirrlees of Glasgow.
