Description
St David's Memorial Park Parish Church, a Church of Scotland building, was designed by J Jeffrey Waddell between 1924 and 1926, based on plans by P Macgregor Chalmers from 1921. This Scots-Gothic church features a cruciform plan with aisles, a tall three-stage square tower with an octagonal stone spire at the northwest corner, and a polygonal apse to the east. To the east, there is a later single-storey gabled hall built between 1910 and 1911, along with a 2007 extension. The church is constructed from squared and coursed stugged sandstone with ashlar margins, and it includes angle buttresses, hoodmoulding, and string courses on the tower. The windows are predominantly three-light geometric-tracery designs, some of which are round-arched and feature quatrefoils, all set in deep chamfered openings.
The tower is battlemented and has a Gothic-arched entrance doorway on the north face, which is recessed and contains two-leaf timber doors with leaded glass and a multi-pane fanlight above. The third stage of the tower has paired tall belfry openings, along with stone water spouts and corner pinnacles. The spire is recessed and adorned with small stone studs. The windows mainly exhibit geometric tracery with small square lead panes, and there are some stained glass elements. The roof is covered with green graded slates and features raised skews.
Inside, the church boasts a fine, largely unaltered ashlar interior, with a six-bay pointed-arch nave and a canted timber ceiling. The floor is red-tiled, and clerestory windows provide additional light. The choir and sanctuary are oak-panelled, and the church contains timber pews, along with a decoratively carved pulpit, communion table, and choir stalls. There is also some notable early and mid-20th century stained glass.
The boundary wall consists of a low, coped, squared and stugged sandstone wall to the north, complemented by two pairs of tapered ashlar gatepiers that feature a base course, gabled caps, and carved trefoil roundels.
