Description

Coll Parish Church, attributed to Robert Robertson and built in 1907, is a 4-bay, rectangular-plan church featuring buttresses, a square entrance tower, and a small piended vestry at the northeast corner. The church is constructed of rubble stonework with rounded stone quoins around the window margins. It has a base course, a dentil band, and a crenellated parapet. The tower includes corner bartizans and a stone cruciform apex finial on the gable. The entrance door is a pointed arch, flanked by narrow lucarne windows, while pointed arch windows and timber louvered belfry ventilators are present on the tower.

The vestry has square-paned margined leaded windows and smaller lucarned windows, while the main windows feature modern fixed timber plate glass casements. The entrance doors are two-leaf and timber-boarded. The roof is covered with small grey slates, and there are stone skews and a stone stack on the vestry with plain clay cans. The church also has cast-iron rainwater goods.

Inside, the impressive timber roof structure is a dominant feature, consisting of five shallow arched trusses supported by timber corbels, with three level tie beams between them, all adorned with pointed trefoil arched braces. Curved herringbone panel detailing extends to the corbel stops. The interior includes tongue and groove timber panelling to dado height, twelve rows of timber pews with ornately carved ends, a timber pulpit, a communion table, and a font. The entrance porch is finished with quarry tiles, and there is a corner chimney piece in the vestry.
