Parish Church.
The parish church is mainly modern, but the chancel and tower date from the 17th century, the tower being dated 1628 and the chancel bearing on the east gable a panel with a plain shield flanked by the initials P.B., for Peter Black of Largo (cf. Largo Tower), surmounted by the motto FEAR GOD and set above the date 1623.
BELL.- In the tower hangs a small bell, the canons of which have been removed. It measures 20 inches in diameter at skirt and is 15 inches high from crown to skirt. Just below the crown is a cresting surmounting the inscription: MICHAEL . BVRGERHVYS. ME . F[ECIT] . 1636 . SOLI . DEO . GLORIA. The usual fillets encircle the sound-bow.
