The church was the second to be built on this site. It fell into disuse after sustaining bomb damage during the Second World War. The present parish church is located elsewhere in the village: NS3477 : Cardross Parish Church.

Cardross Old Parish Church

The first church on this site was erected in 1643-44; it replaced St Serf's Church – Link – as parish church of Cardross. It, in turn, was replaced by Cardross Old Parish Church (1826-27; architect James Dempster); see LinkExternal link (at Canmore) for details. It was damaged by WWII bombing (1941), and is no longer in ecclesiastical use. The present-day parish church is the nearby former Free Church (NS34467754) on Station Road.
