St Cuthbert's Church (NR) (In Ruins)
OS 6" map (1908)
Monkton parish church, which was dedicated to St Cuthbert, was given to Paisley Abbey in 1163. It was in use till 1837, but is now roofless. It was originally a simple oblong, 46ft by about 20ft internally; these walls are undoubtedly ancient, but they have been considerably altered and a N wing was added after the Reformation; the belfry erected at that time still exists on the E gable. In the S wall is a round-arched doorway, with 13th century mouldings.
D MacGibbon and T Ross 1897
This is a plain, rectangular building with features as described above. The four walls and the N wing remain in a fair state of preservation.
