Description

Canonbie Parish Church, designed by architect William Atkinson, was built in 1822. It is a large, symmetrical church with a rectangular plan and features Tudor and Gothic details. The church has a three-stage square tower centrally located on the long west wall, with a gabled vestry and session house on the east wall, directly opposite. The exterior is constructed of stugged yellow ashlar with polished dressings, and it includes pointed, mostly Tudor-arched openings with small-paned windows. The tower and bays are supported by set-back buttresses.

The tower features hood-moulded openings at the ground level, including a door in the south re-entrant angle, and smaller plain windows on the second stage. Each face of the belfry stage has a louvred, hood-moulded opening with Y-tracery, topped by a castellated parapet.

The body of the church consists of five bays, with ground and gallery windows. Each wide gable has a shallow porch and three identical gallery windows. There is a wall-head stack above the vestry, and the church has shaped raised skews and slate roofs.

Inside, the church features panelled woodwork and a gallery that extends along three walls, supported by circular cast-iron columns. The pulpit is centrally located on the west wall, with organ tubes positioned above the gallery on the opposite side. The seating includes box pews.
