The medieval parish church of Kirkpatrick-Fleming occupied an eminence to the SE of the present village and probably stood on much the same site as the present parish church. Within the burial-ground, on the S side of the present building, there is a terrace which measures about 10m by 5m overall and has the appearance of a building-stance.
At the foot of the W wall within the Graham burial-aisle (a fine example of 18th-century polite architecture situated at the W end of the present church) there is a consecration cross which is probably of medieval date and is similar to another (NY27SE 31.02) preserved in an outbuilding to the manse. Within the aisle, there are two 17th-century recumbent slabs with inscriptions carved in false relief, while, within the burial-ground itself, there are a number of 18th-century gravestones.
