The original kirk, dating from 1596, was the main part of the present building, plus the jamb to the south and the west tower, but after many alterations little remains of the original masonry. Later additions include the belfry and the roof of the tower, a north jamb (not visible from this south side) and various porches. It is one of Scotland's first post-Reformation kirks. It was known as Preston Kirk until 1981 following amalgamation with the Grange United Free Church.
