Description

The Innerwick Parish Church was built in 1784. It is a simple rectangular church constructed from ashlar sandstone with broad droving and a base course. The church features hoodmoulded lancet windows and a plain cornice.

The west gable has an ashlar, piend-roofed porch located centrally, with boarded doors on the north and south returns and a lancet window above. A jettied gablehead incorporates an ashlar birdcage bellcote with a cornice, dome, and weathervane. The north and south elevations each contain four lancet windows. A relieving arch bridges the centre lancets on the north side. A raised terrace on falling ground indicates the former position of an aisle.

At the east gable, a two-stage gabled vestry and boiler room projects centrally on falling ground. A lancet window is situated above the main gable, and the former finial has weathered away. Wall memorials to the Hunter family are located on the north elevation. The windows have a diamond-pane leaded glazing pattern with amber glass. The roof is covered in grey slates.

The interior was reorganized in 1870 and includes a centre aisle, a timber floor, and a ceiling divided into four sections with a cornice. The walls are whitewashed. A pine gallery with Doric columns is located at the west end. The furnishings are primarily from the 20th century, including a font from 1939 and a lectern from 1953. A five-part reredos features linen fold panelling, four-centred doors in the outer bays, ornately carved panels, and a filigreed frieze above. Decorative brass wall sconces are also present. Stained glass windows by William Wilson, dating after 1939, depict "The Good Samaritan" and "Christ with Martha and Mary."

The graveyard contains a variety of scrolled tombstones with memento mori and table tops. The boundary wall is constructed of coped rubble and encloses the graveyard. Square rubble gatepiers flank cast-iron gates to the west.
