Description

Relatively simple, two storey, hipped roof Non-subscribing Presbyterian church of 1762, plain rendered with small gabled side porch and arch headed sash windows. The building is set within its own small graveyard on the N side of the Straidkilly Road to the NE of the centre of the village. To the centre of the W elevation is a small single storey gabled porch. To the N face is a, modern, timber sheeted entrance door which is set within a square headed door opening with decorative mouldings and keystone. To the W face is a semicircular arch headed 8/6 sash window with margin panes. This face is gabled and the plain bargeboard overhangs slightly. The N face is blank. To the left and right of the porch (on the main elevation) is a 6/6 segmental arch headed sash window with margins. The windows each have decorative mouldings with keystones. To the first floor there are two evenly spaced windows, all as before. The S elevation has a shallow projecting full height gabled bay to the centre. The bay is topped with a parapet with a chimneypot-like finial with ball pinnacle. To the centre of the bay is a tall fixed light window with margins. To the centre of the gable is a decorative inscription plaque. This is framed with pilasters which rest on ‘vermiculated consul brackets’. The pilasters support a plain frieze which in turn is surmounted with a split pediment. The inscription reads: ‘This House was Built in the Year of Our Lord 1762. The Enclosed Ground on Which it Stands With 30 Guineas Was the Bountiful Donation of The Rt Honourable Alexander Earl of Antrim to the Dissenters of Glenarm’ To the left and right of the tall window (on the ground floor of the bay) is a sash window with margins set in segmental arch headed openings with moulded dressings and key stones. The gable has plain cope stones and there is a small squat circular feature to the apex. To the left and right of the first floor are windows, all as before. To the left and to the right of the projecting bay (on both floors) is a window, as before, one each to the ground and first floors.

The fanlight is boarded over and the opening is dressed with mouldings and keystone, all as before. To the left and to the right of the doorway is a window, as before, with two more to the first floor. This elevation is abutted at the very right hand edge by a two storey gabled house- built [c.1880-1900] as the manse, but now a private residence. To the centre of the N elevation is a slightly projecting bay, (as S elevation), with two evenly spaced windows to the ground and first floors, all as before.
