Description

Wamphray Church, designed by William MacGowan in 1834, is a simple rectangular-plan church with three bays. It features round-headed windows with intersecting tracery and a bird-cage belfry above the west gable. There is a tall gabled vestry and hall that is off-centre on the east gable. The church is enclosed by a churchyard.

The church is built of rubble with contrasting red ashlar dressings and chamfered margins. The main entrance is a square-headed door on the west gable, which incorporates a carved medieval slab as a lintel, set in a shallow projecting vertical strip that links to the belfry. A ball finial is located over the east gable. The vestry and hall have doors on each side, with modern glazing below the slate-hung gable head. The roof is covered with graded slates. The interior is simple and was renovated in 1899, featuring a pulpit at the east and a panelled vestibule at the west.

The churchyard is enclosed by rubble-built walls, with the main gate located on the east side. It was extended to the north in the 20th century and contains mostly 18th and 19th century carved stone monuments. Notable features include the Rogerson burial enclosure, made of red ashlar with rusticated quoins, which has a memorial to Dr John Rogerson (1741-1823), the first physician to the emperor of Russia, and the Carruthers of Milne column near the main gate.
