Description
Dalbeattie Park Church, located on Mill Street in Dalbeattie, was built in 1842 and rebuilt in 1881, designed by architect Francis Armstrong of Dumfries. This hall church features a tower on the southeast and a hall to the north, constructed with bull-faced granite walling and buttressed for support. All openings are round-arched, including the main doorway which has a fanlight and double-leaf panelled doors, flanked by pairs of narrow lights, with a raised bandcourse above. The church has a three-bay nave with single windows and a west rose window that features plate tracery, along with a low projecting vestry.
The buttressed tower is divided into four stages by raised bandcourses, with round-arched louvered openings at the fourth stage, topped with a corbelled cornice that leads to a broached spire adorned with a weathervane. The roofs are covered with slate. Surrounding the church is a low coped granite wall that supports cast-iron railings, and there is a pair of square coped granite gatepiers with cast-iron gates.
Inside, the church features a decorated narthex with round-arched niches that provide access to the aisleless nave and to a deep eastern gallery, which is supported by cast-iron columns and has an arcaded, panelled front. The central pulpit has been transposed from the former United Presbyterian Church in Dalbeattie, accompanied by a modern communion table and lectern. A 1920 organ is located behind the pulpit, flanked by round-arched doors leading to a small projecting vestry. All doors and the rose window have moulded plaster hoods, and the ceiling is coffered with elaborate plaster cornices. Additionally, there is a single-storey bull-faced granite hall to the southeast, featuring two Y-tracery lancets in the gable facing Mill Street, which is partially rendered.
