Ecclesiastical History

Diocese of Galloway, deanery of Rhinns. Described as a parsonage in Bagimond, the church remained unapropriated at the reformation. The patronage was disputed between MacDowell of Fregh and MacDowell of Garthland in 1547, the latter eventually successful. The parish of Stoneykirk was united with the parishes of Clayshant and Toskerton in 1618.

Church Notes

Current church built in 1827, probably on the site of the earlier medieval church, with alterations by John B Wilson from 1901-2. Bell dated 1602.
