Donemana Presbyterian Church, Church View, Donemana, Strabane, Co Tyrone, BT82 0PB

Presbyterian Church, dated 1876, built on the site of an earlier church, located to the east side of Church View, Donemana.

The building is rectangular in plan with a nave aligned north-south and a one-and-a-half-storey extension to the south gable. The walls are constructed of squared-and-snecked sandstone with stepped quoins and a splayed plinth. The roofs are covered with replacement fibre cement slate added around 1990, with clay crested ridge tiles. Deep overhanging eaves are supported by replacement cast-metal ogee profile rainwater goods.

The principal gable faces north and features a central projecting bay with recessed bays at left and right. The central entrance comprises paired timber sheeted doors contained within a chamfered sandstone surround and divided by a sandstone chamfered pier. Above the entrance is a gothic arched panel containing a carved datestone, all recessed within a rebated chamfered stone surround surmounted by a triangulated spandrel and continuous string course with a carved stone finial. The entrance is accessed by replacement steps comprising paviors with concrete plinth walls supporting a cast-metal handrail to side and centre. An alternative entrance level is accessible from a ramp at the west. Above the principal entrance is a plate-tracery rose window comprising four stained glass quatrefoil windows and four smaller stained glass trefoil windows. A square-headed belfry opening reaches to the apex, topped by a gabled bell-cote with a pointed-segmental-headed opening, though no bell is present.

Windows throughout are pointed-segmental-headed with latticed stained glass and margin lights, contained within stepped chamfered surrounds and splayed cills. The bays at left and right are diminished in height and contain single diminished windows.

The east elevation is recessed at the right, where a recess contains a lower gabled bay projecting in line with the nave. The exposed section at left contains five windows, the second and third from the left being replacements. The right bay contains a single window at first floor level and a square-headed blank opening to the apex. The west elevation is similarly detailed, with four windows at the right being replacements.

The south gable is abutted at centre by a one-and-a-half-storey extension built around 1990. This extension has roughcast rendered walls and is roofed as the nave. The exposed section contains a window at each side and a square-headed opening to the apex. Windows in the extension are 4/1 timber casements with projecting masonry cills. The west elevation of the extension contains a vertically sheeted timber door at centre, with a single window at left and a dipartite window at right. The south gable contains three windows distributed across ground and first floor levels; the central window at first floor is dipartite and contained within a round-arched-headed opening. The east elevation of the extension contains a dipartite window at centre.

The church is set on a roadside location. The site is bounded at the west by smooth rendered low walling with saddleback coping and cast-iron railings, and at the south by random rubble wall with soldier coping. The site is accessed at the west via concrete steps flanked by smooth rendered piers supporting cast-iron gates. A single marble grave marker, erected around 1890, stands at the north. A car park and church hall are located at the west.
