The original known church was erected in 1595 after Falkland received its royal charter. It was replaced in 1620but by the 1840s the building had deteriorated, necessitating its demolition. The present church was built between 1848 and 1850 and opened on 26th May 1850. It consists of a four bay main cell and a three stage tower. Mr Oneisiphorus Tyndall Bruce, a barrister, funded the building which cost £7000. It is built from coursed stugged ashlar and has a Scottish slate roof. The church is situated in the centre of the village and faces south onto the High Street.
The churchyard is now closed to new burials.
