Rt. Rev. James Kyle 1834. Rubble built octagon with lunette
windows, tetrastyle pedimented ashlar fronts-piece surmounted
by 3-stage tower of Spanish baroque character with console
scrolls; belfry top stage with concave sides surmounted by
console crown; impressive saucer domed interior with 7
contemporary Spanish religious paintings, altar piece and
stencilled decoration c. 1902. Mears bell 1834.
Ecclesiastical building in use as such. The building was
largely financed by John Gordon or Wardhouse who also gave
the paintings; he may have sent designs of contemporary
Spanish Churches from Jerez. The anta capitals of the
tower suggest that William Roberston may have assisted with
the working drawings. The original neo-Greek alterpiece is
preserved within the Presbytery house.
