[3] A chapel dedicated to St Mungo is thought to have been erected during the fourteenth or fifteenth-century, which became dependent upon the Parish of Tullibody.
[6] The Erskine family donated land at Bedford Place and work on the new St Mungo's church began in 1817.
[9] Since land was judged at the time to have too great a value to the living to be set aside for the dead, no graveyard was planned or added to the new church.
[6] The more elaborate scale and design of the new building was intended to reflect the increased size and prosperity of the nineteenth-century congregation.
[6] It has a rectangular plan with low square towers at each angle and an advanced gable centred on the north front.
[6] A spectacular 207 ft (63 m) crocketed Gothic louth-spire tops the building, so called because it was based on a fifteenth-century design at Louth, Lincolnshire.
[13] The imitation oak ceiling and ornaments around the ventilators were the first work carried out by John Wardhope from Edinburgh.
[4] The architect recommended that the space under the seats be filled with gravel and broken stone as well as paving the whole of the ground floor.
[4] The church was noted as "lacking few pretensions to beauty", but this likely refers to the relatively restrained design of the early nineteenth century.
[4] It was 1934 before the Session instructed architect Leslie Grahame Thomson MacDougall[17] to prepare plans for the reconstruction, which were duly presented to the congregation at an estimated cost of around £13,000 and subsequently approved.
[15] Within two years, sufficient funds were raised from the monthly collections to allow the work to begin on 6 December 1936 and the church reopened on 16 October 1937.
[4][15] The roof was found to be in serious disrepair and was entirely reconditioned with the plaster ceiling replaced by a panelled and embossed wooden design.
[4] However, it was not until 1967 that the alterations to the chancel and other improvements, including the addition of a choir room and session house, were undertaken to the same architect's plans.
