Ruthwell Parish Church is a well-kept church serving village and parish of Ruthwell on the Solway Firth between Dumfries and Annan. It is most notable as the location of the Ruthwell Cross which is housed inside the church. Most of the building dates from 1803 when the earlier parish church was remodelled, incorporating fabric from the original church. The church has a T-plan, with the apse added centrally on the long north wall in 1887, to house the Ruthwell Cross. It was further remodelled in 1906 when it was re-roofed and the door and window openings were altered. The building is Category B-listed (LB17247 http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB17247 Historic Environment Scotland).
