Founded in 1504 by Lord Sempill, the church had seven priests to say masses for the family. Only a few years after building the church Lord Sempill was killed at the Battle of Flodden. His superb funerary monument is inside.
Built into the wall of the present church is a fine Romanesque doorway of the original 12th century Norman church. The churchyard has a good collection of 18th century gravestones.

This late 14th century church with its attractive belfry was restored in the mid 19th century. Inside the church are an impressive series of medieval burial monuments associated with the Douglas family.
Established in 1169 by monks from Wenlock Abbey in Shropshire. The original church was burnt down by the English in 1307. Rebuilt in the 14th and 15th centuries, most of it was in ruins by the end of the 19th century. It has been restored since then.
