Up until 1723 there were two churches in the Glen. Lethnot linked with Lochlee, its church is situated on the North side of the Westwater.
The parish of Navar is on the south side of the river near Leightnie, however only the bell tower of this church can now be seen.

The parishes were united in 1723 and the minister insisted on a bridge being built so his parishioners could travel to the Lethnot Church.

The present Lethnot & Navar church was built in 1827 but fell into disrepair in the late 1950's. The parish is now joined to Edzell and the Lethnot Navar parish ceased to be a separate identity in 1953 with the union consummated on the 2nd January 1953. The name Navar was dropped and the church in Edzell is now named the Edzell Lethnot Church. The I3th century font from Navar is now positioned at the door of the Edzell Lethnot church. The Navar bell can be seen in the Meffan Museum in Forfar. The Lethnot Bell is positioned halfway up the stairs in the Edzell Lethnot church.

The Lindsay Aisle is all that remains of the church that was demolished in 1818 and replaced with the church in Edzell.

The Church was first mentioned in 1342, but the site is much older as a 9^th Century cross was discovered in 1952, which is now housed at Edzell Castle.

The Lindsay Aisle was probably built as a Chantry Chapel in the 16^th Century by David Lindsay, 9th Earl of Crawford.
