NO 541 109 Excavation and a watching brief during construction of a new vestry showed that the W wall of the present church (James Gillespie Graham, 1826-7) reused an earlier foundation. A much earlier E-W foundation was also found, possibly part of a pre-Reformation church. The ground level has been raised, especially in 1826-7, and may seal other early structures. Charnel deposits probably disturbed in 1826 were found and reburied, but no articulated skeletons, except for two infant burials, probably 19th or early 20th century, which were left in place.
