Description

Thomas Telford, 1827. (contractor, James Smith). Standard
Parliamentary T-plan church, harled with tooled margins.
Depressed arched outer paired doors in north elevation;
similarly arched pair central windows with 2-light lattice
(cast-iron) glazing. Similarly detailed windows in east and
west gables and in (south) T-wing. Bellcote with stumpy
finials at west apex.
Interior; original interior fittings including pews,
communion table and pulpit. Coped rubble walled burial
ground with various 19th century tombs.

Statement of Interest

Building in ecclesiastical use as such. East window inscribed

with names and signatures of those evicted from neighbouring

straths (1845) and from Gruinards (Greenyards) 1854. Many

families over wintered in the burial ground having nowhere

to go. Unusual survival of original interior fittings and

layout.
