Description

Saint Peter's Episcopal Church, located on High Street in Musselburgh, was built in 1865 by Thornton Shiells and Paterson. This church features an early pointed aisleless nave with five bays and a lower, narrower chancel with two bays, which includes a semi-octagonal apse. There is a two-bay side chapel positioned at right angles to the chancel on the south side. The northwest corner of the church has a tower and spire that form the porch.

The west front showcases a three-light geometrical window, flanked by cusped lancets and a vesica above. The flanks of the nave and southeast chapel are supported by buttresses with single cusped lancets. The chancel is also buttressed, featuring crocketted pinnacles and cusped lights with a single order of shafts, along with overarches above that include voussoirs.

The tower consists of three stages; the lower two are square and buttressed, transitioning to an octagonal belfry stage. The stone spire is adorned with a single row of lucarnes and bands of fish scale and diamond patterns. Inside, there is an octagonal stone font designed to imitate medieval work, which was previously located in St George's Episcopal Chapel on York Place in Edinburgh, created by James Adam in 1793.
