Description
St Inan's Church in Parton was built in 1592 and consists of the ruins of a simple rectangular church. The east gable remains nearly complete and features a small bellcote inscribed with "Lausdeo 1636." The side walls have been lowered and consolidated, with sandstone coping added in the 19th century. The walls are constructed of rubble with sandstone or gritstone chamfered margins. There are two resited corbels with leaf carving on the east gable. Inside the old church, there is a 19th century memorial marking the grave of physicist James Clerk Maxwell, who died in 1879.
