Description
The Episcopal Church on Queen Street in Tayport was designed by T Martin Cappon in 1896. This small, single-storey church features a cruciform plan and gothic detailing, with a polygonal chancel and a two-bay nave. It is constructed of red brick, accented with painted stone lintels, cills, and a base course. The exterior includes two-stage, sawtooth-coped brick dividing and angle buttresses, along with traceried windows, including a pointed-arch window on the eastern side.
On the eastern elevation, the gabled front showcases a large, four-light pointed-arch window that extends into a mock half-timbered gablehead. The western elevation features a polygonal chancel that projects from the center bay, accompanied by a later dry-dash lean-to that is not in keeping with the original style. This elevation also has small two-light traceried windows on the flanking canted faces, with two-light windows on the left and a single-light window on the right in the outer bays.
The southern entrance elevation has traceried windows in the nave's center and right bays. To the left, there is a transeptal gambrel-roofed porch with a panelled timber door and a plate glass fanlight. A projecting lower piended bay has small windows on each return. The northern elevation mirrors the southern side but features a transeptal bay with a four-light window and two-light windows on the returns, all of which are traceried.
The chancel windows are adorned with colored leaded glass, while the traceried window has horizontal three- and four-pane glazing patterns, and the timber sash and case window at the porch has four-pane glazing. The roof is covered with small Westmoreland grey slates, complemented by terracotta ridge tiles and finials. The church has tall battered stacks, deeply overhanging eaves, and exposed moulded rafters.
Inside, the church features timbered roof braces supported by stone corbels, timber pews and dadoes, and a small carved reredos. The boundary walls surrounding the property are low, saddleback-coped rubble walls.
