It is listed as a Category A building by Historic Environment Scotland.

[2] The present Kirk dates from 1541 but was built on the site of an earlier 12th century church.

It was begun in 1541 by Peter Sandilands, laird of the adjacent Calder House,[3] but only the choir from the original design was built by the time his nephew Sir John Sandilands "completed" the project in 1545.

The belfry and transept was built in 1863[3][2] on the correct north-south axis, but the entrance is uniquely located in a small door at the re-entrant angle between the south transept and the choir.

This appears to be a humorous reference to the defection of Rev Mackenzie, for whom the house was probably built/rebuilt c.1680, to the brewing trade.
