Description
East Saint Clement's Church, built in 1828 by John Smith, is a three-bay symmetrical Gothic church located within a graveyard. It features an advanced central clock tower that is four stages high, adorned with pinnacles, crockets, and balustrades. The church is constructed from coursed and snecked granite rubble, with smooth rubble dressings and a base course. Buttresses divide the bays, and there are pinnacles at the corners. The windows have pointed segmental arches, and there is a central pointed-arched entrance doorway that has been boarded up since 2006. Above the entrance, the belfry has louvred openings. At the rear of the church, there is a later 19th-century single-storey hall.
The church predominantly features four-pane fixed timber stained glass windows and is roofed with grey slates.
The churchyard encircles the church and contains a variety of mainly 19th-century gravestones, some of which have decorative carvings and many with nautical inscriptions.
The boundary wall dates back to 1650, with later additions. It is a high, coped rubble wall, and there is a carved plaque on the north side with the inscription, "GEORGE DAVIDSONE ELDER BURGESS OF ABD BIGIT THIS DYK ON HIS OWN EXPENSES 1650."
