Tundergarth Parish Church

Tundergarth Parish Church consists of a 1900 parish church designed by James Barbour and the roofless remains of an older church from 1770.

The parish church features a Gothic style with a rectangular plan, comprising three bays and a square tower at the southwest corner. There is a gabled organ chamber on the shallow east side. The church is constructed of roughly coursed rubble with ashlar dressings, while the tower and south gable are harled.

The tower includes a door in the re-entrant angle and a west-facing window that illuminates the vestry at a lower level. Each face of the upper level has a louvred and traceried opening, topped with a simple parapet and a birdcage belfry over one corner.

The body of the church has a gabled timber canopy above paired doors at the north end of the west wall. It features elementary perpendicular tracery, a jamb with a rose window, and a single window on each gable, with a string course at cill level. The roof is slated with saw-toothed skews and projecting eaves.

Inside, there is an octagonal pulpit with a panelled front and decorative canopy, along with a carved, open timbered roof supported by shaped corbels. The leaded windows in both gables and on the east wall include two by Swaine Bourne & Son from Birmingham and London, which are signed.

The churchyard is enclosed by walls built of rubble with ashlar coping. It features two polished ashlar gatepiers with wrought-iron gates, along with an earlier gateway to the west with lattice work. The churchyard contains several notable stone monuments from the 17th to 19th centuries and a rubble-built shed, possibly a former watch house.

The old parish church, which was abandoned in 1900, has a T-plan with a four-bay south elevation and a central door on each gable. It is also built of rubble with ashlar margins but is now heavily overgrown. A Gothic monument from around 1907, featuring a canopied design in red ashlar with a moulded arch, cusping, and an ogee head, marks the site of the former pulpit.
