OS 6" map (1957)
New Cumnock was erected into a parish in 1650; its church was built in 1659 (Hay states 1657) the date visible above its doorway. It is now ruinous, but the windows are still perfect. Its successor, the present church, was built (at NS 6172 1350) in 1832.

This church, which is dated 1659, is a rectangular building with a N transept. The walls, which are in fairly good condition, contain both rectilinear and curvilinear windows.

The church is roofless, and its walls are in a ragged but stable condition. The lintel stones above a blocked doorway in the S wall and the main doorway in the E wall are inscribed with the date '1659'. The interior is grassed and has headstones dating to the first half of the 19th century.
