The present Kingoldrum parish church was built in 1840, almost on the site of its predecessor. The church, which was given to Arbroath Abbey in 1211-4 by William the Lion, was dedicated to St Medan; not far from it is St Medan's Well. There is little doubt that originally it was a Celtic establishment; three fragments of sculptured stones which were found in the walls of the old church when it was being removed in 1840, were donated to the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland [NMAS] in 1878 (Accession Nos: GB 39-41). (For other finds in the churchyard, see NO35NW 4-6.)
