Description
St Cyprian's Episcopal Church, located on Beech Road in Lenzie, was designed by architect Alexander Ross of Inverness and completed in 1873. This Gothic church features a rectangular plan and includes a three-stage square tower at the east end of the south wall, a gabled porch at the west hall, and a vestry on the north side that was rebuilt in 1926. A modern hall is situated to the east.
The church is constructed from stugged and snecked ashlar with polished dressings. The tower is divided into stages by string courses and has an engaged octagonal stair turret at the angle, topped with a facetted and finialed spire. The lower stage of the tower has lancet windows, while the second stage features small cusped openings. The top stage includes louvered, hood-moulded openings with nook shafts and gargoyles at the corners, and a continuous band above adorned with quatrefoil panels. The porch contains a hood-moulded door facing south, flanked by two stumpy nook shafts with foliated capitals, and features a datestone above. The church has lancets in its bays, a hood-moulded three-light west window, and a plate-traceried east window, with a string course at cill level. Stylised masks decorate the eaves, and the gables have straight skews and cross-finials, all beneath a slate roof.
Inside, the church showcases a vibrant effect created by the use of contrasting materials. Notable features include an ornate wrought-iron rood screen, a chancel arch with dogtooth ornamentation supported by engaged columns with foliated capitals, and an open timber roof resting on carved corbels. An aumbry is located on the chancel's north wall beneath a three-light window, and some leaded glass panels are present. The church also has an octagonal pulpit. Additionally, there is a substantial slate-roofed timber lych gate to the southwest, which serves as a war memorial.
