Tynron Parish Church

Tynron Parish Church is a small Gothic church designed by architect William Burn and built in 1837. It has a T-plan layout and features a gabled central vestry on the long south wall, with porches in both re-entrant angles. The exterior is constructed of stugged pink ashlar with polished dressings. Each gable has a large three-light window with shafted jambs and moulded reveals, with the northern gable projecting to support a square apex belfry. These windows are complemented by hoodmoulds linked to angle buttresses. The vestry has a smaller, similar window with a hoodmould that continues over depressed-arched doors in the porches. There are single windows flanking both the vestry and the north gable. Grotesque gargoyles adorn the angles, and the roof features shaped skews. A wallhead stack above the vestry has two twisted circular flues. The belfry includes angle buttresses, hoodmoulded pointed openings, diminutive grotesque gargoyles, and a finialed pyramidal roof. The church is roofed with graded slates.

Inside, the church has a timber and plaster rib-vaulted ceiling and a panelled octagonal pulpit. A canopied sounding board features small finials and pendants. There are some leaded windows, including a west window by Cottier & Co. from around 1892, a north window from about 1878, and a single window on the south wall from around 1912. The walled churchyard is enclosed and contains several interesting 17th to 19th century stone monuments. It is accessed by steps at the south, which have a polished red ashlar balustrade and square gatepiers with shaped caps.
