St Mungo's Episcopal Church, Ladycroft, Balerno

St Mungo's Episcopal Church, located on Ladycroft in Balerno, was designed by R Rowand Anderson and completed in 1869. This small, plain, rectangular-plan Gothic church features a steeply pitched roof and is finished in painted harl with painted ashlar margins around the lancet windows and quoin strips.

The east elevation showcases paired lancet windows with a round window above, topped by a spindly cast-iron cross finial at the apex. The west elevation includes a stepped buttress at the center, a gabled bell-cote with a curved batter at the top, and flanking lancets at ground level. There is a lean-to porch entrance on the outer left, featuring a boarded, two-leaf door. To the outer right, there is a modern flat-roofed, glass-fronted timber porch and hall extension that connects the main church to a cottage.

On the north elevation, the church is divided into four bays by buttresses, with a three-lancet nave and an outer right porch entrance. The church features leaded and stained glass lancets, a purple slate roof with lead flashings, and ashlar coping on the skews and bell-cote gable.

Inside, the main entrance is through the modern addition. Immediately inside the door is a white granite baptismal font dedicated to the memory of John David Hill. The interior is painted brick with a dark stained dado and a scissor-braced roof. The east windows, installed in 1927, depict the baptism and resurrection of Christ, featuring a dove in a roundel. The stained glass windows of St Mungo and the Virgin and Child, located on the outer right and left of the north wall, were created by John Blyth in 1957, while the St Margaret window at the center was made by William Wilson in 1959. The altar furniture is plain and from the 20th century.

Adjacent to the church is a single-storey, three-bay, symmetrical rectangular-plan cottage connected to the church at the southeast by a modern addition. The cottage is finished in painted harl with raised ashlar cills, featuring a segmental-headed four-panelled door with a plate glass fanlight and flanking segmental-headed windows. It has four-pane sash and case windows, a grey slate roof, raised ashlar skews, and rendered and coped apex stacks.

The boundary wall and gatepiers consist of slender red sandstone pedestrian gatepiers at the northern end of the west side, with a rubble wall featuring triangulated coping that encloses the church grounds and the cottage.
