St Salvador's Episcopal Church, St Salvador Street, Dundee

St Salvador's Episcopal Church Hall, located on St Salvodor Street, Dundee, was designed by George Frederick Bodley, with the halls built in 1857, the nave in 1865-8, and the chancel in 1874. It represents an important landmark exhibiting the Gothic Revival style. The exterior is characterized by simple Early English detailing, constructed with coursed rubble stone, ashlar dressings, and steep slate roofs.

The west gable features a large four-light intersecting cusped traceried window. Buttresses run flush with the gable, topped by an apex niche and a Celtic cross finial. A lean-to narthex porch was added in 1874. Simple pointed arched doors are situated to the north and south, approached by gabletted gate piers. Two smaller, cusped two-light windows are also present on the west side.

The side elevations present a heavily buttressed seven-bay nave with a lean-to, windowless aisle. Six pointed Y-traceried cusped clerestory windows illuminate the nave. The chancel is lower than the nave and has three large three-light windows with an ogee hoodmould between slim buttresses on the north elevation. A pitched-roof chapel and a lean-to sacristy are situated to the south, also buttressed, with cusped mullioned windows and a pointed arched door.

The two-storey west gable of the hall has, on the ground floor, two single-light windows, a bipartite window and a door. Above is a four-light mullioned and transomed window with cusped centre lights. A rose window is incorporated within a relieving arch, while a blind slit is present in the gable head. A simple square bellcote sits on the gable. A porch and stairs are set back between the hall and the church, with a chamfered arched entrance beneath the armorial of the Bishop of Brechin, topped by a quatrefoil. Plain single-light windows and bipartites are visible on the south side.

The east gable features two bipartites and a rose window within relieving arches, topped by a wrought-iron cross finial stack. New classrooms were inserted between the hall and the church in the 1870s, with a lean-to roof added. The roofs are slate, with fish-scale and half-piended detailing over the porch.

The interior decoration is exceptionally complete and directed by Bodley, with overall stencilling executed by his firm, Burlison and Grylls. The tall nave is flanked by narrow, lean-to aisles set within the buttresses. Octagonal ashlar piers support the nave arcade, which is beneath a collar-braced crown-post roof. A rich turquoise and green diaper stencil decorates the arcade spandrels, with lighter stencilling above and in the roof-space, and richer reds and greens in the chancel arch and chancel itself. A magnificent panelled and painted reredos fills the entire east wall, depicting Christ crucified alongside 18 painted copper panels portraying the Apostles, Angels, the Virgin, and St John. A fresco of the Annunciation is positioned above. A wagon roof is stencilled, with gilded lead sunbursts towards the altar. The Lady Chapel boasts an open scissor-brace roof, panelled at the east end. Gilded wrought-iron screens are found within the chancel and chapel arches. High-quality furnishings were created by Watts and Co, founded by Bodley, including a canted sacrament house with ornate brass hinges, and a Wadsworth and Maskell organ housed within a late Gothic case designed by Canon F H Sutton in collaboration with Bodley. Simple timber choir stalls and sedilia complete the furnishings. Glass, painted in a 15th-century style by Burlison and Grylls, is seen throughout, with the exception of the wheel window within the west gable of the Lady Chapel, which was transferred from a former school and is a work of Clayton and Bell. The interiors of the school and hall themselves are simple. The upper floor of the hall was used for worship until 1868.
