The deteriorating structure contains medi?val burial effigies dating to the 1450s, which are thought to be the last remaining examples of such fine quality in Scotland.
St. Munn's Parish Church is a Category A listed building occupying the summit of a slight knoll about eleven yards from the shoreline of the Holy Loch. The present building of 1841 is on the site of a medi?val parish church, endowed as a collegiate church in 1442 by Sir Duncan Campbell of Lochawe, and a tower of that period stands to the west of the existing church.
