Description
St Mungo Parish Church in Kettleholm, designed by architect David Bryce, was built between 1874 and 1877. This rectangular-plan, five-bay Gothic church features a castellated three-storey square tower at the northeast corner. The exterior is constructed from coursed bull-faced ashlar with polished dressings and includes stepped buttresses, with pinnacled diagonal buttresses on the body of the church. The church has mostly pointed hood-moulded openings, some adorned with cusped tracery, and a wheel window in each main gable, topped with crenellated parapets.
The tower has a two-storey engaged stair turret and angle buttresses, with a louvred belfry opening above. It is capped with a broached cap house featuring a facetted stone roof, dummy machicolations, and spouts. There is a gabled porch centrally located on the west wall of the church and at the west end of the south wall, with the former having pinnacled diagonal buttresses.
Inside, the church features an oak pulpit with linen-fold panels and columned angles, with an organ located at the rear (east) by Abbot and Smith of Leeds. The interior also boasts an open-timbered roof with cusped framing and a fine bronze World War I memorial in the vestibule, created by F M Taubman of London in 1922.
