St Andrew's Parish Church And Hall, High Street, North Berwick

St Andrew’s Parish Church and Hall is a late 19th-century cruciform church, built in 1882 by Robert Rowand Anderson, with additions by Henry and MacLennan in 1907. The church is constructed from squared snecked rubble with ashlar dressings and buttresses.

The North elevation features a central gabled porch with sturdy angle buttresses; the pointed arch above has nook shafts and paired pointed doorways. A statue of St Andrew by W Birnie Rhind is set within an oval panel above a hoodmoulded window composed of three lancets and a rose window. Stone cross finials crown the porch and gable. A tall, four-stage bell tower rises above the North side, with string courses and varying heights. It has a moulded round arched doorway on the North face and a slit window on the second stage. Paired louvred lancets illuminate each face of the third stage. A blind triple arcade with a central clock is surmounted by a corbelled, crenellated parapet.

The West elevation displays a Y-tracery, hoodmoulded window on the North side, and three paired lancets to the body of the church, with four large oculi at gallery level. The South side is defined by a shallow gabled transept with paired lancets and a large circular opening above. A single-story vestry is located to the South, linked to the chancel by a swept roof.

The East elevation mirrors the North and West sides, with the tower on the North side. A recessed organ chamber is situated on the South side, with a doorway and a roof sweeping to the chancel.

The South elevation features a lower chancel continuing the line of the main gable. The East window is a stepped lancet with a hoodmould. The church hall abuts to the South and West. Decorative gutter heads and fixtures are present, and the roof is steeply pitched with slate.

The interior presents a simple, white-painted scheme with an open, timber-boarded ceiling. A gallery, supported by cast-iron columns, extends around three sides, deepest in the transepts. Pine woodwork is grained to resemble oak. Two stone flights of steps lead to the North vestibule, with a curved flight providing access to the gallery. The organ, originally by Foster and Andrews in 1886, was revised and enlarged in 1914. Stained glass windows are mostly unattributed.

A low coped parapet wall runs along the North side by High Street, supported by squat piers. A decorative wrought-iron lamp standard stands nearby.

The church hall, dating from 1901, has a South gabled section centered at its front. It features a hoodmoulded pointed arch doorway with a timber door and fanlight, above which are three stepped, hoodmoulded lancets. Half-piended roofs cover the recessed flanking bays, which merge into the main roof. Skewputts are visible on the gable, and lancets are spaced along the East and West sides. A vestry is attached to the North gable.
