The parliamentary church serving the quoad sacra parish of Ulva was completed, with its adjacent manse, in 1828. It conforms closely to Telford's published plan for a T-plan church, the principal variations having been introduced about 1950 when the greater part of the building was converted into a community hall and only the NW portion of the main block was retained for ecclesiastical use.
