Hendry Hall, 38-40 Kirk Wynd, Kirkcaldy

Dated 1890, Hendry Hall is a two-storey and single-storey, rectangular Scottish Baronial church hall, session house and beadle's house situated on ground sloping to the south and west. The building features crowsteps, a corner tower, a bartizan, a bellcote, corbelling and a griffon rainwater head. It is constructed of bull-faced squared and snecked rubble, with dressed ashlar quoins and dressings, a chamfered base course over a deep plinth, and a deep eaves cornice. The window surrounds are roll-moulded and tabbed, with a corniced and dated strapwork pedimented doorhead, relieving arches and chamfered cills.

The principal west elevation includes steps leading to a recessed two-leaf boarded timber door with a letterbox fanlight and strapwork pediment bearing the entwined initials 'DH' and the date '1890' on the left side of centre. Adjacent to the door is a window to the outer left, a window to the centre, and a further window in a bay to the right. The first floor features two windows to the left of centre, topped by a chimney gable with a carved panel in the gablehead and a ball-finialled spike. A conical-roofed, corbelled turret with three narrow lights is present in the outer left corner, while a window is positioned to the right of centre, above a decorative rainwater head and a ball-finialled gablet with circular moulding breaking the eaves. A bartizan is located on the outer right.

The east (churchyard) elevation is single-storey and three-bay, with bays grouped to the right. Three windows are set within crowstepped gablets that break the eaves. The centre bay contains a carved oval panel in the gablehead, while the outer bays feature circular mouldings; the left one is inscribed with ‘KPC’ and the right with ‘JC’. A large commemorative marble tablet sits between bays two and three. A circular bellcote with a slated apron, an attenuated turret roof, and a wrought-iron weathervane finial are centered on the elevation.

The southern elevation has a flight of steps leading up to the east side. A door and adjacent window, both with relieving arches, are located to the outer right, next to an archway. The north elevation features a blank chimney gable.

Windows are timber sash and case with 13 and 15 panes of glass. The roof is clad in graded grey slates, with a fish-scale pattern on the turrets, and pierced terracotta ridge tiles. Chimneys are cavetto coped ashlar with cans; skews are ashlar-coped with moulded skewputts. Cast-iron downpipes with decorative rainwater heads are present.

The interior of the old session house, accessed from the south, includes a hall with a vaulted, panelled ceiling, decorative cornice, a panelled dado and soffits. A blocked timber fireplace is located on the west wall, and a raised platform is situated on the north wall. This platform includes two architraved and pedimented doorways with panelled timber doors flanking a pilastered and panelled niche with a decorative semicircular pediment and flanking finials.
