The roofless shell of this old parish church is as previously described. The elaborate Gordon Tomb and the cross-slab stand within the church. The cross-slab measures 950mm in height, 400mm in breadth and 80mm in thickness; it is not dressed and its smoother face bears the incised outline of a cross. Although the Inventory for Kirkcudbright (RCAHMS 1914) describes the cross as extending the entire length of the stone, its shaft is now only visible for 470mm below the arms, which are 280mm across.

Visited by RCAHMS (SPH) 21 February 1990.
