The roofless remains of this typical 18th century church incorporate portions of much older work, including a fine early 16th century porch with groined vault and the base of the former tower (now the Sutherland burial vault). The stairs on the north side and the east end gave access to timber lofts.

St Peter's Cross, a typical medieval market cross, stands to the south, an indication of the days when markets were held regularly in such kirkyards. Some excellent table-tombs also survive, green and mossy.
