Stewarton Parish Church

Stewarton Parish Church was built in 1696, with later alterations made in 1723, 1775, and 1825. It is designed in a roughly Greek cross-plan and features an unusual off-centre bell tower to the west, along with a pair of advanced gabled aisles to the south. The church is constructed of sandstone rubble, with some raised ashlar margins, and includes later single-storey porch and vestry extensions.

The west elevation showcases a gable with an advanced, off-centre corniced bell tower. The square-plan belfry is supported by corner columns and features a bell, topped with a dome, conical pinnacle, and finial. There is a triangular window at the ground level, and above it, a plaque displays a carved "Y" representing a local legend, along with the date 1696 and a clock.

The church predominantly has margined metal fixed windows, with some stained glass present. The roof features skews and a wallhead stack.

Inside, as seen in 2008, the church has a cohesive, largely 19th-century interior with timber pews. Notable features include a decoratively carved pulpit, font, communion table, and organ case, along with 4-panel timber doors. The staircases are fitted with metal balusters and timber banisters. There are timber galleries to the east and west, supported by iron columns, and a number of stained glass windows from the 19th and 20th centuries. A pair of windows on either side of the pulpit depict Dorcas and St Paul.

The churchyard contains predominantly 18th and 19th-century gravestones, some of which feature decorative carvings. There is one iron recumbent gravestone and an ashlar lair to the north, which is in disrepair.

The boundary walls surrounding the church are made of coped rubble and enclose the north, south, east, and west sides.
