Ecclesiastical building in use as such; Church of Scotland. Leswalt Parish Church was built in 1828, to replace Old Leswalt Church (see separate listing). Leswalt was linked with Ervie-Kirkcolm in 1985. The principal elevations were formerly rendered. The pulpit and pews were transferred from the former Free Church of Leswalt, latterly Leswalt West, now ruinous. The font was transferred from Pinwherry in 1966.
