Notes: A New Church at Kinfauns, N.B.,was opened for Divine service on Whitsun Day. The building was designed by Mr. Heiton, architect, Perth, and it’s plain bold outline harmonises well with the scenery around. The style of architecture employed is that of tho Early French Gothic, and ths church is cruciform [Building News 10 June 1870 page 439]

The font and lectern by Graham Conacher Young may be in Kinfauns Old Parish Church - his LRIBA nomination paper is unclear.
