Architecture and continuing use
A low nave and battered west tower lead to a taller canted chancel, with gabled aisles and red-tiled roofs. Inside are a traceried rood screen, reused reredos, exposed stonework and glass associated with Morris and Company and other makers.
Its story
The congregation first adapted an earlier building before commissioning a permanent church. A foundation stone was laid in 1901, dedication followed in 1903 and consecration in 1909. Memorial glass and a modern meeting-room extension record continued congregational development.
Why it is included
The church is a distinctive Arts and Crafts work and a rare Scottish example associated with John Douglas, enriched by nationally significant decorative-art connections.
What to notice
- The battered west tower and broach spire.
- Contrasting red-tiled roofs over nave and chancel.
