Lennel Old Parish Church, of 12th century date, was ruinous by 1705 and was replaced by a church in Coldstream which became the parish church in 1718. When seen by the RCAHMS, the W gable was almost entire, the side walls stood a few feet high, and in the S wall of the nave was a doorway with a segmental arch. The E gable had disappeared, and the full length of the building could not be accurately measured, though the nave was about 54ft and the existing gable was 26ft wide.

Only the W wall of this church, containing rectilinear windows, remains to any great entent. The church has been encroached upon for burials and gravestones have been inserted in all the walls. It is in poor condition.
