Description

Tunley Presbyterian Church and Sunday School is a building dating from 1691 and 1880, with restoration completed in 1897. It is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble and features a stone slate roof. The church has north and south walls, each divided into three bays. The windows consist of four lights with leaded glazing, stone hoods, plastered surrounds, and recessed plastered mullions. The western windows on both the north and south sides are likely later additions, and there is evidence of a blocked doorway beneath the southern window. An open timber bellcote is located above the west gable, and a single-storey porch was added against the west wall in 1971. To the east is the schoolroom, which has a Welsh slate roof that runs at right angles to the main roof. The south gable wall of the schoolroom features a window with plain reveals and a similar doorway to its left. Above the window, there is a stone inscribed with: 'Erected in 1691. Rebuilt in AD 1880...'.

Inside, the church has two roof trusses with ovolo-moulded tie-beams and raking struts that are now boxed with pine. An original pew dated '1691' is attached to a pew end. The history of the Tunley congregation and church was documented by W.G. Mackay in a publication from around 1980.
