Kirkpatrick Memorial Presbyterian Church, Upper Newtownards Road, Belfast, Co. Antrim, BT4 3JF

Kirkpatrick Memorial Presbyterian Church is a Gothic Revival church completed in 1923 to designs by Stephen A. Orr. The building is located on the south side of Upper Newtownards Road at the corner of Eastleigh Avenue in Belfast.

The church follows a rectangular plan aligned north to south, with square-plan three-stage towers positioned at the northeast and northwest ends. The principal elevation faces north and features a central gabled recessed double-height bay flanked by the two towers, with a single-storey lean-to three-bay porch projecting forward. The pitched natural slate roof is finished with angled red-clay ridge tiles, and projecting eaves are fitted with metal half-round guttering discharging to circular downpipes on the side elevations and decorated cast iron hoppers discharging to rectangular section downpipes on the principal elevation.

The principal elevation is constructed in random-coursed rock-faced Scrabo Sandstone on a chamfered plinth course. The side elevations are built in red brick laid to English garden bond with buff sandstone dressings, also on a chamfered Scrabo Sandstone plinth. The windows throughout feature stained leaded glazing. Those on the principal elevation are pointed arch openings with cut-stone surrounds, splayed cills and moulded hoods on foliated stops. The ground floor has paired trefoil windows set within flat arched openings with splayed cills and stained leaded glazing. The first floor features three-part trefoil windows within segmental arched openings with stained leaded glazing. A four-part traceried window lights the gable with splayed cill and moulded hood.

The east tower has two-stage angle buttresses and is topped by cornicing and a raised battlemented parapet. The west tower features two-stage diagonal buttresses, paired louvred pointed-arched openings to the belfry stage, a raised battlemented parapet and a stone spire with metal finial. A memorial plaque is positioned above the second stage, recording the church's name and completion date.

The principal elevation includes a pointed arch door opening to the centre of the porch with moulded surround and hood on foliated stops, fitted with a double-leaf diagonal sheeted painted timber door with black iron door furniture, opening onto a single stone step. The west and east elevations each contain a square-headed door opening to the respective tower, fitted with double-leaf painted timber sheeted doors.

The nave is separated into bays by two-stage buttresses, with a moulded string course between ground and first floor levels on both the west and east elevations.

A two-storey red-brick hipped roof modern hall dating from the 1960s is abutted to the south elevation. A two-storey link connects the church to this hall. An additional double-height hall in buff-brick with shallow pitched roof dating from the 1970s is located to the southwest of the church fronting onto Hillview Avenue. A single-storey flat-roofed wedge-shaped porch has been added to facilitate entrance to the two halls via the west yard.

The setting comprises a tarmaced yard to the north and west. Dwarf irregular coursed rock-faced stone walling to the north features cut stone coping with chamfered top corners and is topped by wrought iron square section railings with curved railing heads. A double-leaf cast iron gate to the north is supported on thick square section piers built in irregular-coursed rock-faced stone masonry, topped by pyramidal coping with gablets.
