Summary Record (21 October 2010)

Late C18 box church with fine Palladian details of quoins and a pedimented entrance. Rob Close in the RIAS publication,'Ayrshire and Arran records a suggestion from Professor Alastair Rowan that Robert Adam, whilst working at nearby Culzean, made some suggestions as to the appearance of the unfinished church. The elegance of the windows and detailing make this an attractive idea.

The interior now has a C19 pulpit and organ loft as well as selected windows.
