Ecclesiastical building in use as such. Built as Chapelhall and Caderbank Free Church with a subscription from and on land gifted by Captain William Roberton of Laughope, replacing a mission hall. The spire was truncated in 1950 following storm damage. The 1954 hall was designed by D A Stevenson and largely built by volunteers.
