St Ninian's Church, Sanquhar

St Ninian's Church in Sanquhar, dated 1842, is a rectangular-plan, three-bay Gothic church with its main gabled facade facing the street. A plain hall has been added to the north, which is deeply recessed, and there is a low screen wall that connects to the manse. The street elevation features polished grey ashlar, while the rest of the building is constructed from rubble. The church has hood-moulded openings, a central door with a Tudor arch, and a gallery window above that has a finialed ogival hood-mould. Tall flanking lancet windows are present, and all windows are small-paned with intersecting tracery. The design includes parapets and stepped buttresses, with the inner two buttresses rising as octagonal shafts topped with pinnacles. The bays have square-headed windows, and the roof is covered with slate.

Inside, there is a canopied pulpit positioned above the precentor's box, with steps on either side. The flanking leaded windows, which are unsigned, are dated 1901. A horseshoe gallery with a panelled front is supported on circular columns. The three-bay hall has a gabled principal elevation facing the roadside, constructed of bull-faced ashlar. The screen wall features a wooden gate and displays the top of the Sanquhar cross from 1680, which is set above a pedimented base flanked by urns. The church is enclosed by spiked cast-iron gates and railings, which are set on a low coping. The polished ashlar gatepiers are slender and octagonal, with projecting caps and lamp brackets.
