St. Saviour’s C of I Parish Church, Church Street, Greyabbey, Newtownards, Co. Down, BT22 2NQ

St. Saviour's Church of Ireland Parish Church stands on a rise off Church Street at the northern edge of Greyabbey village. This is a relatively simple snecked rubble-built Gothic church dating from the 1860s, but it incorporates a tower and spire from an earlier church of the 1770s. The roof is covered with Bangor blue slates with decorative Cumberland green slate bands, and all rainwater goods are cast iron.

The long north wall features two projecting bays, the right-hand one serving as the main entrance porch. The porch entrance has timber-sheeted double doors supported on wrought iron hinge straps, set within an equilateral Gothic arch opening with sandstone dressings, drip moulding and label stops. On either side of the porch are small narrow windows with sandstone dressings and small diamond panes. To the right of the porch, on the main wall, are two tall lancet windows with small diamond panes and drip stone mouldings that merge into a string course. To the left of the porch are four tall lancet windows of similar design. The string course terminates at a small buttress. Further left is the second projecting porch, which houses the vestry and is surmounted by a tall sandstone chimney stack. The vestry gable features a central window composed of twin lancets surmounted by a quatrefoil, all set within a pointed arch opening with sandstone dressings. The right face of the vestry has a single-leaf door matching the main entrance but without drip moulding. The left face is blank. To the left of the vestry is a single lancet window, slightly shorter with a higher cill and without drip moulding.

The east gable has three tall lancet windows of the same type as those on the north wall but taller, and one small lancet window close to the apex.

The long south wall is occupied by two lean-to projections. The larger contains the side aisle, and to its right is a much smaller porch and boiler house. This porch has an equilateral arch opening with simple sandstone dressings and a deeply recessed timber-sheeted door. To the right of the door are paired lancet windows with sandstone surrounds. The roof of the porch lean-to abuts the main south wall. The side aisle lean-to on the left has a roof that dresses directly into the main roof. Its long south side features four sets of triple lancet windows with cusps, each with small diamond panes and sandstone dressings. Rising from the main church wall at the junction of the two lean-tos is a large chimney stack, with the lower portion in rubble tapering to an upper section in dressed sandstone. The upper section is oval in plan with two chimney pots.

At the southwest corner, a short covered passageway leads from the church interior to the base of the 18th-century tower. The corridor has a pointed arch opening with sandstone dressings and a sheeted door to the east, and a triple lancet window with sandstone dressings to the west.

The four-storey tower features a slightly corbelled and castellated parapet and a tall octagonal spire with quatrefoil openings to each face at the lower level and circular openings to each face at roughly half way up. The tower has two small round openings to each face at the third floor. At the second floor of the west side is a tall louvred lancet opening. The first floor of the east face has two tall flat-headed windows with small diamond panes. The ground floor of the east side has a small shouldered arch opening with a sheeted timber door. All openings on the tower have sandstone dressings. The lower half of the tower is strengthened with steel angles connected by welded steel bars.

The main west gable features a small pointed arch window opening over a large circular rose window, which in turn sits over three evenly spaced pointed arch windows with drip mouldings and string course. All windows have small diamond panes. The main corners of the walls are strengthened with double buttresses that reduce at upper levels, constructed of random rubble with sandstone dressings.
