Description
The Former Mains Parish Church, located on Old Glamis Road in Dundee, was built between 1800 and 1801. This simple Renaissance-style church has a rectangular plan and is constructed from rubble with ashlar dressings. The south elevation features four tall round-arched windows, while the north elevation has a two-storey, three-bay design, with the center bay being blind on the first floor. The gables are pedimental with the side lights also being blind, and there are attic Diocletian windows. A mock stack is positioned at the eastern apex, and the west elevation includes a small corbelled bellcote with pilastered angles and a weather vane. The church has porches with parapets.
Later additions include single-storey vestries with piend roofs at the north angles, each featuring two bipartite windows on their outer elevations. The western vestry is the earlier of the two and has a tall shouldered wallhead stack. The church is topped with slate roofs, although the center ventilator is missing, and it has small-paned glazing patterns.
Inside, the church features a gallery and a clock supported by Tuscan columns. A cornice is carried by cast-iron columns with bell capitals. There have been some later refurnishings, including the pulpit, which was added in 1894. Notable interior elements include a fine monument to Charlotte, Lady Ogilvy, and a stained glass war memorial window.
The churchyard contains 19th-century monuments enclosed by rubble-built boundary walls. Wrought-iron gates and modern railings are situated between square ashlar gatepiers at the northeast angle.
