Description

The Church of St Kentigern is a parish church built in 1756 on a medieval site, with restoration work completed in 1925. It features whitewashed rubble walls topped by a graduated grey slate roof, and has a roughcast west bellcote. The church consists of a single cell with four bays and includes a west porch. The entrance to the porch is round-headed, as are the nave windows, which have glazing bars. The east window is a three-light design.

Inside, the church has simple king-post trusses supporting a boarded ceiling. There are 17th-century studded plank doors, and the cut-down box pews are marked with painted numbers. A notable feature is the three-decker pulpit, which incorporates parts from 17th-century box pews, one of which bears the carved graffito "I.R.1679." The pillar font is topped with a 17th-century pyramidal wooden cover. Additionally, the bell, dated 1491, is a Victorian recast of an earlier bell.
