It is surrounded by a graveyard, and there are two family vaults attached to the North side of the body of the church, the east one belongs to the Cunninghames, who were the ancient proprietors of Livingstone, the other one belongs to the family of Pitcairn, Nether Dechmont. The church bears date 1732, at which time it was rebuilt. The old church was a Catholic place of worship before the Reformation. The Revd.

[Reverend] John Gardner his Assistant and Successor; the latter receives £30 more from the heritors, both of which sums form his stipend.
