 This church fell into disrepair early in the 19th Century and in 1843 was replaced with the building of a new Parish Church on Gashill just to the north of the village.At around the same time, the remains of the original church were used to build a new Free Church of Scotland at the east end of the village.In 1938 the 2 churches were united and in the mid-1940s the St. Margaret's Free Church and manse were sold and the proceeds used to refurbish the St. Margaret's Church Hall.
