St Andrew's St Andrew's Church, Church Street, Buckhaven

St Andrew's Church is a small, cruciform-plan aisless church originally built in 1825 by William Burn, in a Perpendicular style with dressed and polished ashlar. The central division of the gable front was subsequently refaced by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1854. The church was re-erected on its current site in 1872 and extended to the sides in 1885. In 1987, it was converted into a theatre, with further extensions added at that time.

The building features a chamfered base course, string courses, pointed-arch openings, and traceried windows complete with hoodmoulds and label-stops. Decorative elements include crocketted pinnacles and saw-tooth coped battered angle buttresses with chamfered reveals and stone mullions. The main entrance is set within a moulded doorcase with boarded timber doors.

The east elevation is symmetrical, dominated by a two-stage centre gable. This features a full-height moulded panel with a three-step approach, flanked by pilaster buttresses with trefoil-headed blind panels and two-light blind-traceried windows. A band of trefoil-headed blind arcading above the door gives way to a large five-light traceried window below an elaborate ogee-shaped hoodmould, ornamented with human-head label-stops. The angle buttresses include gablet-coped two-light blind-traceried detail and decorative cross-finialled gablet coping. The parapet is pierced and raked, topped by a central triple pinnacle. The side aisles are slightly set back and have blocked hoodmoulded windows.

The north elevation has two bays with simple Y-traceried two-light windows and dormer heads raised above the eaves line; a buttress is located to the outer left. A taller extension projects to the outer right. The south elevation includes a blinded window below a dormerhead and a buttress, with a taller extension projecting to the left. The western elevation is incorporated into a more modern extension.

Multi-pane leaded glazing is found in the east and north windows. The roof is covered with grey slate, featuring ashlar-coped skews and moulded skewputts.

Inside, the theatre conversion has retained the cast-iron columns of what was formerly the nave.
