Middlebie Mission Church, Lauriesclose

Middlebie Mission Church, built between 1904 and 1905 by architects James Barbour and John MacLintock Bowie of Dumfries, is a small Gothic church designed in the Arts and Crafts style, now converted for domestic use. The building features snecked, bull-faced red ashlar stone and has a rectangular plan with a squat, two-storey square entrance tower at the north end of the east wall.

The tower includes battered angle buttresses, with similar single buttresses at the other angles. It has a recessed east-facing door, and a window above the door breaks through the eaves, topped with a gabled dormer head that has louvred slits on the sides. The tower is capped with a steep pyramidal slate roof that sweeps over the eaves. There is a two-bay aisle in the south re-entrant angle, with a roof that also sweeps over and a wallhead gable to the west. The plain, five-bay west wall features two narrow pointed arched windows in each gable, and the entire structure has a slate roof.

The interior has been altered. The church is set behind a coped, bull-faced ashlar wall that steps down the slope, featuring square piers and shaped wrought-iron railings. The gatepiers are topped with pyramidal caps.
