and 1775 (skew). 1672 T-plan church incorporating earlier
work, renovated 1775-80. Harled with ashlar margins.

windows in outer bays and pair long central windows in centre
bay. Bellcote with stumpy finials at west apex, ball finial
at east and thistle finial at north; moulded and initialled
jambs to north door (which probably gave access to former
Novar aisle). Additional later extension to north gable with
wide blocked doors (possibly stabling/carriage house for
Novar aisle). External gallery stair to east gable; also
burial enclosure with Munro eagle (Novar) dated 1671.
Semi-circular mural recess in NE internal wall, probably for
recumbant figure.
Burial ground; coped, rubble walled burial ground with
interesting 17th, 18th and 19th century tombs.

IMT 72" (To think on Death is Life).
