Ecclesiastical building, now owned by the community and used for eccumenical services (2006). A simple, little-altered Victorian parish church situated in a prominent position on raised ground at the southern edge of Clova village. The church is the first building to be passed on entering the village and, despite its diminutive size and simple architecture, it is something of a local landmark. Together with its churchyard (which is still in use as a cemetery) it makes a very positive contribution to the character of the village. According to A J Warden, it was erected in 1855. It replaced an early 18th century building, which stood on the same site, and it is possible that parts of the earlier church are incorporated into the present fabric. Clova was a Quoad Sacra Parish, which means that although it was joined with Cortachy for lay administrative affairs, it was a separate parish for religious affairs.
