The National Monuments Service's description
Westropp (1904-5, 424) recorded the following details about Ballingaddy Church which was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary; 'Balygady, 1291-1302. John le Troy held the living, 1378 (see 245, supra). The Pope ordered that Ric. Bondwill, priest, be given a canonry and the perpetual vicarage of Ballagady, worth 10m. Grant was treated as void, and transferred to Thomas de S. Jacobo, 1394 (Cal. Papal L., iv.,p. 471); Ballinghaddie dedicated to B.V.M., 1410; Fabric - It has a nave and choir 39 feet 4 inches [12m] by 23 feet [7m], and 29 feet [8.8m] by 17½ feet [5.3m]. The west gable and sides of the nave remained. The two windows and door in the south, and one in the north, were defaced before 1840. There was an oblong light in the gable walls, 10 feet [3m] by 3 feet 4 inches [1m], of regular masonry (O.S.L., 8, p. 293).'.
