Description
The Church of St Columba (Presbyterian) is a church built between 1950 and 1955 by Sir Edward Maufe. It is constructed of Portland stone and features a green slate roof. The building includes ground floor halls with the church located above, church offices on both the east and west sides, and a southwest tower.
The front has a triple arched entrance with a tall, simple lancet cover. To the left, there is a tower topped with a bell-cambered pyramidal roof, and to the right, a house facade consisting of two bays and three storeys with side dormers. This facade has broad round-arched ground-floor windows and five lancets above.
Inside, the church features columned vestibules and first floors. The church interior has a wide nave with six bays on the ground level, accompanied by passage aisles. The arcades consist of round arches supported by square piers, with eastern transpetal bays featuring round columns and Romanesque capitals. The shallow sanctuary has a round east window positioned high up. The roof is four-sided and canted, with a stone dado, while the remaining walls and roof are whitened. The church retains its original oak pews and fittings.
