The church was built in 1894 a classic gothic style with gable mounted bell housing although the bell has long since gone.
The roof is clad with slates and has classic cast iron rain water goods. There are sandstone skews to both gables and the original lead coloured fleche (roof ventilator) has been removed and leaded over.

For further information on these and other churches can be obtained from Colin Mills' excellent book: The Vanishing and Disappearing Churches of Arran.
