A church has stood at Stichill since the fourteenth century, with the existing building being constructed around 1770.
The church is a rectangular building, constructed of rubble with ashlar dressings. An external stair on the north wall leads to the laird's loft, the area of the church where the principal landowner and his family worshipped. There are two large round-headed windows on the north wall, and four on the south, making the interior of the church bright and airy.
A small belfry on the west gable contains a bell engraved with the words, 'Michael Bvrgerhvys me fecit soli deo Gloria 1632', which translates as 'Michael Burgerhuys made me for the glory of God alone'.
