The church was said to have been built in approximately 1109, and lies within the grounds of the Fetternear estate. A Roman Catholic mausoleum chapel was built in 1848, and in 1878 a church was built by the Leslie family adjoining the north wall of the medieval church enclosing the Leslie tombs but this was never consecrated. The graveyard is no longer used and has become overgrown.
