The chapel was built as a private chapel for the use of the Ferguson family and their estate staff in 1850-1851 after the laid, George Feguson, had fallen out with the Episcopal clergyman at Old Deer. It is one of a few places of worship that belonged to the English Episcopal (continuing) church rather than to the Episcopal Church of Scotland like the majority of Anglican churches in Scotland. It had fallen into disrepair by the 1980s, but was restored in 2003 for use as a house, winning several conservation awards.
