There are no visible remains of the medieval parish church of St Madoes. The present church was built in 1798, replacing a building apparently erected in 1610, and was extensively repaired or rebuilt in 1676. A class II Pictish cross-slab (NO12SE 15) from the burial-ground is now in Perth Museum, but a second cross-slab (NO12SE 21), discovered in the wall of the Session House in 1881, is lost. There are a number of 18th-century gravestones in the burial-ground.
