NJ 5540 6364 Prior to its conversion for residential and community use, a standing building survey was undertaken on 1 May 2014 of the former parish church in Fordyce, a Category B listed building built in 1804. The church is an imposing but plain rectangular block set E–W with round-arched doorways in the E and W gable walls with large round-arched windows above. There are matching windows along the S wall. A
rectangular bellcote, thought to date to c1830, houses a bell dated 1702 which was reused from the earlier Fordyce Church. During restoration the owners found several masons’ marks on paving slabs which may also have been reused from the earlier church.
