OS 6" map (1902)
Dron Church, of which only the chancel arch, foundations of the side walls and part of the E wall remain belonged to the Abbey of Coupar, dating from the late 15th to the early 16th C. There was probably a transept on the N, and there was apparently a churchyard, now absorbed into a neighbouring farm.
