OS 6" map (1938)

The old parish church of Polmont, now roofless, consists of a main block, 75'9" E-W by 30'6" with an aisle projecting from the middle of the N side. It was built in 1732 (Statistical Account {OSA} 1792).

A chapel of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Polmont is mentioned in 1498, but no tradition exists to connect it with this or any other site. There are no pre-1707 tombstones in the graveyard.
