"Foi uma construção iniciada em 21 de Junho de 1826 com esmolas dos fregueses, proprietários de fora e cabido, cuja construção durou até 1842, tendo sido feita por fases, de acordo com o dinheiro conseguido.

A antiga igreja tinha muitas sepulturas particulares, algumas delas com letreiros que indicavam seus proprietários ficando ainda algumas livres pelas quais a Confraria do Subsino recebia emolumentos, sendo as do adro grátis."
