An interesting structure which has retained its surrounding churchyard, enclosing walls and mannered gateway. Of the several monuments set into the church walls, one is dedicated to David Hamilton, son of Hamilton who shot the Regent Moray. Reference is made to a Crosbie Church as early as 1229 when it was granted by the second Walter the Steward to the Gilbertine Convent - founded by him that same year at St Quivox. Following the issuing of a charter by Robert II, ownership of the church was transferred to the Fullarton family. With the Reformation came the conversion to Protestantism and in 1681 a new building was erected on the site of the old one. Restored to the parish of Dundonald in 1688, the church was seldom used as a place of worship and gradually became ruinous - a state only made worse with the loss of its roof during a storm in 1759. Up until 1863, the surrounding churchyard was the only burying ground in Troon.
