Description

St John's Town of Dalry Parish Church is a T-plan, buttressed neo-Gothic church designed by architect William McAndlish in 1832. The church features a three-stage tower at the south front, constructed of rubble walling with contrasting polished sandstone buttresses and chamfered margins.

The south front has five bays, with a central tower flanked by lancet windows. All the windows are pointed arched, featuring hoodmoulds, timber Y-tracery, and small-pane glazing. The north transept includes a large moulded pointed-arch opening that now has a timber and glass infill, forming a porch. The buttresses rise to pinnacles at the corners, and there is a moulded eaves cornice, slate roofs, stepped sandstone skews, and pinnacles at the gable apexes. The three-stage buttressed tower has a moulded string-course between its stages, a door at the ground level with a quatrefoil moulded panel above, lancet windows on the first stage, and louvred openings on the third stage. The tower is topped with an embattled parapet and pinnacles at the angles.

Inside, the church features a panel-fronted gallery on three sides, supported by cast-iron columns. An elaborate pulpit has an ogee "dome" as a tester, and the communion table is dated 1923. The church is surrounded by a walled graveyard that contains some 18th-century stone.
