Description
Carsphairn Parish Church is an 1815 rectangular hall church that features an added apse at the east end, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. A mid-20th century vestry and porch are located at the west end. The exterior has pointed harled walling with polished red sandstone margins. The church has a three-bay nave with round-arched windows that include round-arch tracery and leaded panes. A small open bellcote is situated on the east gable, and the roofs are covered with slate.
Inside, the nave is divided by cast-iron columns that support the roof. There is a pointed-arch chancel-arch leading to the apse, which features stained glass windows. The interior was remodelled in the 20th century.
