Description
The Parish Church on Shore Road in Shandon was built in 1844, with additions made in 1883, and it was converted into flats in the 1980s. Originally designed as a rectangular-plan hall church, it now has a T-plan layout due to the 1883 additions, which included a tower, transepts, a porch, and buttresses. The church is constructed from rubble sandstone and whin, featuring ashlar quoin strips and dressings, a base course, and an eaves band.
On the west elevation, there is a two-stage campanile tower on the left, which has been truncated with the spire removed during the conversion. The ground level has a two-light lancet window, and a cornice separates the lower stage from the ashlar bell chamber, which has louvred lancet arches and a piended roof. A door with a gable is located on the left return.
To the right, the three-bay main hall features a gabled stone porch at the center, with angle buttresses, a pointed arch, hoodmoulds, and lancets on the side returns. There are flanking lancets and a quatrefoil circular panel in the gablehead, along with ashlar angle pinnacles.
The northeast elevation shows the gable of the transept on the outer left, which has a stepped three-light window and ashlar chamfered angle pinnacles. The right return has additional windows. The two-bay nave to the right consists of two symmetrically placed lancets and two small windows at eaves level, with the right window featuring a gabled dormerhead.
The east elevation is rendered and has a gable at the center, with an asymmetrical arrangement of doors and windows, while the outer bays are blank. It has aluminium windows, a Rubberoid roof, and ashlar coping to the skews and skewblocks.
The interior was not seen in 1993. The boundary wall surrounding the church is made of rubble with ashlar slab coping to the west and rubble semi-circular coping to the north. There are chamfered ashlar gatepiers with pinnacle caps, and the original gateway at the center of the west elevation is now blocked.
