Description
Dated 1838, the church at Kininmonth is a plain T-plan building constructed from whin and granite rubble. It features a birdcage bellcote on the south gable and finials at the east and west ends. A gallery stair and porch are located in the south-east re-entrant angle. The north front has four windows. A session house is attached to the east gable.
Inside, the church retains its original pulpit with a sounding board and some original pews. A gallery is supported by wood G-doric columns. The church remains in ecclesiastical use.
Historical references include a mention in the New Statistical Account, volume 12, pages 231-3. Records prior to 1870 are unavailable.
