Description

St Andrew's Church, located on Baltic Street in Montrose, was designed by W Middleton in 1844, with additions made in 1896. This single-storey church and hall features asymmetrical design and Tudor detailing, situated on a corner site. The front elevation is constructed of sandstone ashlar, while the rear is built with rubble, featuring chamfered margins and battered cills.

On the south elevation, there are three gabled elements and a central campanile. The right side has a two-bay gable end with round-arched windows and an oculus in the asymmetrical gablehead. The campanile on the left springs from the corner wallhead on a corbelled base, featuring round-arched openings to the bellcote and a coursed stone roof topped with a finial. The entrance porch to the left has a round-arched doorway with two-leaf panelled doors, a stained glass leaded fanlight, and relief sculpture above depicting a tree with the inscription "NEC TAMUR ....NSUMEBATUR," along with a stone cross at the apex. There is also a panelled door with a narrow rectangular fanlight in the return to the left. The left gabled bay is set back and includes a single round-arch window and an oculus in the gablehead.

The east elevation features an advanced two-bay piended section at the centre, with Elizabethan transomed tripartite windows that have stained glass upper lights. Gabled porches flank this section, each with two-leaf panelled doors, pendant decoration to the architrave, stained glass upper leaded fanlights, and an oculus in the gablehead, along with a door in the return to the right porch. A tripartite window is located at the extreme left of this elevation.

The west elevation has four tripartite windows in the section to the right and an advanced piended block to the left. The north elevation abuts 82 Baltic Street.

The church features stained glass and leaded lights in the round-arched window to the left of the entrance porch, with leaded lights to the right, while replacement plate glass is used elsewhere. The roofs are covered with grey slate, and there are gablet stone coped skews and skewputts, along with an ashlar ridge stack on the north side.

Inside, the church was remodelled in 1896, featuring seating arranged in a fan shape and four passageways facing the pulpit on the east wall.
