(NT 07372 67323). Midcalder parish church, dedicated to St John, was built between c.1530-1550, on the site of an earlier church. The transepts, which stand on the site of an old schoolhouse, were added in 1876.
The oldest gravestone in the churchyard is dated 1636.
A sandstone block, the head of a cross-shaft, found in the churchyard, measuring 15" x 12 1/2" x 4", was donated to the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland (NMAS) in 1883 (Accession no No: IB 129). It is ornamented on each face with a cross design within a circle, all in relief.
