Innerpeffray Chapel was a private chantry chapel and associated with nearby Innerpeffray Castle. It initially housed four priests, who were to pray for the souls of the Drummond family.

The Protestant Reformation of 1560 put an end to its official use as a Catholic place of worship.

Some of the chapel’s Catholic features survived the Protestant purges. These include the mensa/altar table, a holy water stoup/basin beside the south entrance, consecration crosses in the plasterwork, corbels that once supported a loft above the screen separating the chancel from the nave.

The church is also home to the Faichney monument, which dates to 1707, and formerly stood in the graveyard. A superb example of the stonemason’s craft, it tells of one man’s pride in his family.
