A church has believed to have existed on the present site since around 1150 and was formally consecrated in 1241. The oldest part of the present Church was built on the original site in 1542 and the West extension added in 1863. The church restoration won the West Lothian Award for Conservation in 1992 and the stained glass windows were restored in 1995. Previous famous visitors have included John Knox, James ‘Paraffin' Young, David Livingstone and Frederic Chopin.

The oldest gravestone in the churchyard is dated 1636.

The cemetery is on the opposite side of the road from the Church.
