This sacrament house is the most important surviving feature of Deskford Kirk. The recess was used to store the consecrated host. The sacrament house was gifted to the kirk by Alexander Ogilvie and his wife Elizabeth Gordon in 1551, whose arms are carved above an inscription below the recess. Above the recess are two angels holding a monstrance.
