Church Overview

The present building dates from 1806, being a replacement for the church the ruins of which are adjacent. The building is a simple rectangle with Gothic windows and a Victorian bellcote (1893 by James Matthews). The galleried interior has been much altered and embellished. Gothic revival font. The Thornton Aisle sits in the midst of the graveyard, with ancient gravestones.

Was formerly linked with Laurencekirk and Luthermuir Churches in the Parish of Aberluthnott.

Closed in 2023 and Sold by the Church of Scotland in 2024
