Description
The Old Manse at Quarrelwood, probably dating to around 1798, is a two-storey, three-bay manse now connected to a restored Cameronian chapel. The manse is constructed of rubble with red ashlar margins, and has been whitewashed. A panelled door with an ogee-glazed fanlight sits within a round-arched, moulded doorway. Plain Venetian windows are on the ground floor in the outer bays, while the first floor has sash windows with 12-pane glazing. Straight skews are present, along with end stacks and a full-height rear wing.
The chapel was restored from a ruinous condition in 1969 by Anthony Curtis Wolfe and now serves as a library. It has an irregular, octagonal plan and a facetted roof. Three tall, round-headed windows are on the south side (with the central window originally a doorway); a square-headed window is to the east; and a blocked door, two 12-pane sashes and a wall-head stack are on the north side. All roofs are slated. The building is no longer in ecclesiastical use. A photograph of the chapel, without its roof, appears in the 1964 edition of Russel’s BOOK OF DUMFRIESSHIRE, on page 239.
