In brief
The parish church hall is a small but assured design by Sir Robert Lorimer, dated 1913. It brings civic presence to Station Road without the scale of a town hall: a gabled front, Venetian window and clock address the street, while a parallel hipped range contains the supporting accommodation.

Lorimer’s composition
HES describes a single-storey gable front with a Venetian window, clock and scroll skews. Beside it, a parallel piended section has an architraved and keyblocked doorway. Harled walls and slate roofs keep the material palette restrained, allowing the window, clock and silhouette to carry the design.
Place in the village
The hall belongs to the upper part of St Monans, above the compressed harbour streets. Its formal front marks a communal building without competing with the medieval church by the shore. Current congregational and ownership arrangements can change and are therefore left to the responsible organisations.
