Lavey church was built in 1822 at a cost of £830 with a gift from the Board of First Fruits, and is an excellent example of the typical design favoured by the Board in the early nineteenth century. It is a well-crafted building with later nineteenth-century furnishings. The interior retains fine furnishings of a single period and style which add to its artisitic interest. The graveyard and roadside boundary add to its setting and context.
