Description
Brompton Garrison Church is a church built in 1854, designed in the Early English Gothic Revival style. It is constructed from polygonal limestone rubble with limestone dressings and features a slate roof. The church has a chancel with an aisled nave.
The eastern gable of the chancel includes angle buttresses with weathered tops, stepped coping, and a three-light stepped lancet window with attached colonnettes, a hood mould with small stops, and a trefoil above. The three-bay sides of the chancel have lancet windows with labels. The taller nave gable has north and south aisles that are seven bays long, separated by flying buttresses with attached plinths, diagonal corner buttresses, and paired lancets with quatrefoils above.
The western end features buttresses flanking the nave gable and a gabled bellcote that has an open two-light opening as the side lights, above a Lombard frieze. The gable includes a three-light stepped lancet set in a two-centre relieving arch, above a gabled porch with a two-centre arched doorway that has double doors and trap hinges, flanked by lancets. The aisle ends have two-light windows similar to those on the sides.
The interior has not been inspected but is reported to contain a western organ loft supported by eight Tuscan columns, with stairs on each side and arched windows. There are seven columns in the aisles decorated with trefoils. The boarded roof features three tiers of through purlins in the nave and two more in the doorcase.
Fittings include an octagonal font and a wooden pulpit. Memorials within the church commemorate the men of the Indian campaigns of 1857 and 1858, as well as a chest tomb and effigy dedicated to Major General Charles George Gordon CB.
