This unusual, rectangular, bow-fronted church with central bellcote replaced, in 1805, the pre-Reformation church whose remains still stand on the green kirkyard mound behind. Within all is light and airy, the pulpit being placed between two large windows on the east, with a horseshoe-shaped gallely of light wood opposite. The font from the old kirk is here.
There is some doubt whether the grassy mound on which the old kirk of St Bride's sits was a motte, the precursor of the castle at Kildrummy (no. 30). An arched Gothic recess on the north wall, possibly an Easter sepulchre, contains a fine relief efflgy slab to the fourth laird of Brux, c 1400, which as reused in the 16th century.
