The old church of Blawith, now ruinous, was built circ 1560,
and is situated a few yards away from the present church. In its
original state it could have been little better than a barn, of
small dimensions, without a tower or steeple. It was rebuilt in
1749, but by 1861 was in so ruinous a condition that a new church
was built in 1863. (2-3)
The old church remains consist of the walls only, now standing
to a maximum height of 4.2m with the gable-ends rising to a
maximum height of 6.0m. The remains measure overall 13.7m E-W
and 8.7 N-S. A small tower, formerly existed at the western end
and measured 2.0m by 4.0m. (4)
