Early History
Lisbellaw Parish Church was built in 1764 as a chapel of ease within Cleenish Parish by Lord Rosse, who is interred underneath. The original building was a small Georgian edifice with a Venetian east window. Between 1834 and 1865 major repairs and rebuilding took place, at a total cost of 344 13s 11d. It was during this time that the north wing was added.

Lisbellaw was designated as a 'District Curacy' of Cleenish in 1838, with the Rector of Cleenish appointing its Curates until 1870. The first Rector of the newly-formed Parish of Lisbellaw was George Preston in 1873.

The clock tower was erected in 1895 by Mr JGV Porter.
