St Stephen's Church, 96 Dundee Road, Broughty Ferry, Dundee

St Stephen's Church, built in 1871 in Broughty Ferry, Dundee, is a large, cruciform-plan church constructed in the Gothic style. Designed by Thomas Saunders Robertson, it was extended in subsequent years with a vestry added in 1874, galleries in 1875, an enlarged north gallery around 1877, and a chancel and organ chamber in 1880. The church is built of multi-coloured snecked masonry with buff long and short margined dressings and grey slates with green fishscale bands. Windows are predominantly trefoil-headed, single, paired, and stepped, some with hoodmoulds featuring foliate label stops; a string course runs at gallery level, and there is a chamfered eaves course. Cast-iron rhones with a triangular indent pattern, decorative skewputts, and some kneelers are notable exterior features.

The north elevation incorporates a three-bay central porch with a moulded Gothic arch, corner buttresses, stepped copes, a sculpted oculus, a plume finial, and paired Gothic arched doors to a narthex. Large windows, including one with geometric tracery and a cusped light at roof space, are present, all featuring continuous hoodmoulds. A cross finial tops the elevation. A four-stage tower with a spire is located at the northeast corner, with single and paired lights and louvred belfry openings.

The east elevation shows the church abutting the chancel and nave, with a single-story vestry with a platform roof. A transept gable features stepped lancets and a rose window, while the aisle incorporates paired lights at ground and gallery levels; a moulded shoulder-arched door is located to the right. The tower has trefoil and lancet windows. The west elevation is similar to the east but includes a Gothic arched door and a pyramidal-roofed organ chamber.

The south elevation is plain, featuring stepped lancets to the chancel and a door to the vestry.

Inside, a narthex leads to a galleried nave with moulded Gothic arches supported by round columns with finely sculpted foliate capitals. Panelled galleries run along the north, east, and west sides, supported by cast-iron columns dating from 1875-77. The roof is boarded with collar braces, supported by moulded corbels, and features fretwork infill over the aisle tie-beams. A timber pulpit and communion table are positioned under the crossing; the original organ was replaced with an electronic instrument in 1969. War memorials are located on the north and west walls. The windows were designed by Burne-Jones and manufactured by Morris and Co between 1893 and 1915, largely gifted by J J Watson of Ballinard.

The church is enclosed by a low wall with metal railings, punctuated by six pyramidal-capped gatepiers and three dies.
