St Andrew's Church, Wellgate, Dundee

St Andrew's Church, located in Wellgate, Dundee, was built in 1772 and completed in 1774, with designs by James Craig and construction overseen by Samuel Bell. The church is rectangular in plan and incorporates Palladian details and a classical steeple.

The building is rubble-built, possibly originally harled, with ashlar dressings. The west tower has five stages, with a setback at each level. The first two stages are square, featuring two tiers of round-headed openings. A dentil cornice runs at eaves level. The second stage contains a Diocletian window, and a swag and oval plaque indicating restoration work in 1939. The third stage has set-back angles with a clock face on each elevation, topped by urns. The fourth stage is octagonal, with arched, louvred belfry openings between attached angle columns. The octagonal spire has three tiers of oculi and a dragon weather vane.

The south elevation of the church is symmetrical. A foundation plaque dated 1772 sits above a later monument. Central Venetian windows are flanked by Ionic pilasters and swags. Two bays on either side feature arched doorways and two tiers of arched windows with keystones and imposts, all terminating in a dentil cornice.

The north elevation is two-storey and five bays, with similar arched windows. The centre bay was altered to provide access to halls. The east gable has a piend-roofed porch with some arched openings blocked. A semi-circular window with circular and Y-tracery (possibly originally a Diocletian window) is flanked by arched windows. There is a blind oculus, skewputt, gable apex and angle urn finials. The roof is slate.

Windows have been altered to accommodate stained glass; they were formerly sash and case windows. The interior features a semi-octagonal gallery supported by six Doric columns, with later emblems representing the Trades. A panelled pulpit has an Ionic pedimented backboard against the centre of the south wall. The walls are plain and the ceiling is flat. Stained glass windows in the Venetian windows were created in 1892 by Gordon and Watt, with further additions by Mayer and Co, and later work by William Wilson, Gordon Webster and Douglas Hogg. Other features include an organ, banners and chairs representing the Nine Trades.

The graveyard, partially remodelled as a garden of remembrance in 1953, holds 18th and 19th century monuments. The gatepiers, dating to 1810 with alterations in 1828, are square, rusticated ashlar with urn finials. Wrought and cast-iron railings run along a low boundary wall.
