Kirkbean Church, which appears to occupy the site of the old one, was built in 1776. On top of a pillar erected over a well in the glebe is a Maltese Cross, which appears to be of some antiquity. This may have been taken from the old church, though no one can give any information concerning it other than it was placed in this position by the Rev. Mr Grierson, who was minister of the parish.
