Description
St Mary's Episcopal Church in Gatehouse of Fleet was begun in 1819 and completed in 1837, originally intended for the United Presbyterian Church. This rectangular-plan hall church is situated on sloping ground and features Y-traceried pointed arch windows. The exterior is constructed of rubble with an ashlar basecourse, and it has painted dressings with chamfered reveals and painted, raked diagonal buttresses.
The west elevation is gabled and largely blank, with a pointed arch narrow doorway at the center that has two-leaf panelled doors and a small-pane fanlight above. There is a blind oculus above the doorway and a square ventilation panel at the apex, topped with a stone cross finial. The north and south elevations each have three regularly spaced windows. The east elevation is blank, featuring a ventilator panel at the apex. The church has leaded diamond-pane glazing patterns and is covered with good graded grey slates, with ashlar coped skews.
The interior was not seen in 1991 but is noted to contain two stained glass windows. Additionally, there are decorative cast-iron railings surrounding the property.
