St Andrew's Episcopal Church, Main Street, Alford

St Andrew's Episcopal Church, located on Main Street in Alford, was built in 1869 and has undergone later additions and alterations. This rectangular-plan church is designed in the Early English style, constructed from Aberdeen bond granite with finely finished dressings. It features a base course, pointed-arched openings with chamfered reveals, and diagonal buttresses.

The south elevation, which serves as the entrance, is asymmetrical and consists of three bays. A square-plan, three-stage entrance tower is advanced to the left bay, featuring a deeply chamfered, shouldered doorway at the center of the first stage. This doorway has two stone steps leading up to a two-leaf boarded timber door with decorative hinges. Above the door, there is a cross motif set in a roundel within the gablehead. To the right return, there is a single window, while a plate traceried two-light window is located to the left return. Each facet of the second stage has two-light windows, and there is a string course between the second and third stages. The third stage features a clock on each facet, and the parapet is stepped up at angles to form merlons. An octagonal spire sweeps down between the merlons, topped with an iron finial. To the right, there are two bays with two-light windows and an oculus above.

The east elevation has a gabled chancel that is advanced to the center, featuring a three-light window. The eaves sweep down to the right, where there is a shouldered window below. To the left return, there are two-light and single windows, and a gabled addition is advanced to the right return, with a stone crucifix at the apex of each gable.

The north elevation was not seen in 2001. The west elevation is gabled and features a large, heavily traceried wheel window at the center of the gablehead, with an iron finial at the apex. There is a square-plan entrance tower adjoining to the right.

The church predominantly has leaded diamond-pane windows and a steeply pitched grey slate roof with lead ridges. The stone skews are coped with moulded skewputts, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods.

The church is accompanied by low coped boundary walls topped with railings, square-plan sandstone gatepiers with pyramidal caps, and two-leaf iron gates.
