Cromar Parish Church, also known as St Moulag?s, was built in the Gothic style and is very large and striking for a small village; the south principal elevation is particularly noteworthy. The south face was built with fine ashlar granite, while the side elevations and rear gable are built with lower quality tooled granite blocks.? Architect William Smith was an Aberdeen contemporary of Alexander Ellis, whose influence is visible. Oversized for its location, this highly unusual piece of Victorian Gothic superseded the 18th century Tarland Old Parish Church in the village square.?
