Although a board at the church door claims the church was 'consecrated in 1243' the tower is the only part of the structure that dates even as far back as the 15th century. Early in the 19th century the existing church was found to be unsafe and taken down, so most of the present building dates only from around 1810. The ornate columns nearest the camera form the family burial enclosure of the Lumsdaines who lived in nearby Innergellie House.
