Scope and Content A large Gothic church with a bell tower on the northeast corner is set in an orderly graveyard. The houses and buildings of a town surround the churchyard with fields and trees in the distance beyond. The church has white stone quoins at corners and facings round the windows of the church. The church has two storeys of windows. Paths divide the churchyard and there are rows of gravestones and fenced burial plots. The church is the fifth built on the site, replacing an earlier one built in 1775. The foundation stone was laid in 1904 and the church was dedicated in 1904. Forres was notorious for witches and the Witches Stone marks where some were burnt.
