An article entitled 'The Parish Church and Churchyard of Galson,' appearing in the Edinburgh Antiquarian Magazine of January, 1849, describes "The Church of Galston, surrounded by the parochial burying-ground, is situated in the village-a cleanly and well-aired assemblage of streets and lanes...along the south bank of the smoothly flowing Irvine," and continues, "The church, which was built in 1808 on the site of the preceding edifice--a structure of older standing than the Reformation--is a neat quadrangular building...[with] two tiers of windows in the sides, five in each tier, and of different forms."
"The interior of the church corresponds with its external appearance; simplicity, airiness, and substantiality, being its main characteristics...[and] affords sittings for 1020 persons, and in respect to comfort it is said to have hitherto given general satisfaction."
Designed by John Brash of Glasgow, the current church sits on a site occupied by Christians for worship since about 1250, and is the third church built since the Reformation. The Chancel was added in 1912, and the following year a 3-manual Binns pipe organ was installed. The church underwent a complete refurbishment in 1999.
