Description
The former Strichen Parish Church, built in 1798 by John Adamson and refurbished in 1844 by Alexander Ellis, is a rectangular-plan, gabled building situated in the burial ground between Newton Wood and the North Ugie Water in the village of Strichen, Aberdeenshire.
Constructed from granite rubble with later cement render, the church features gables with round-headed doorways, Serlian windows, and ball finials above. The west gable is topped with a stone birdcage bellcote. The south elevation has four large round-arched windows, with some zinc window frames that retain simple twin-arched tracery. The roof is slated and includes metal roof vents along the ridge. At the southeast corner, there is a single-storey furnace house/session house addition, which is now roofless and has a tall chimney. The interior has been largely stripped, but an exposed timber king-post ceiling structure remains.
