Diocese of Galloway, deanery of Farines. Old chapel said to have stood in a field to the west of the present church grounds. The medieval Motte to is to north the of church. The parsonage had been annexed to Whithorn Priory before the Reformation, the cure being a perpetual vicarage, held usually by one of the canons, while a curate served the charge. The annexation may predate 1274 as the church is not listed in Bagimond.
