Parish Church, Oakfield Street, Kelty

The Parish Church on Oakfield Street in Kelty was built between 1894 and 1896 by John Houston. This simple Gothic church features a distinctive western end and is constructed from rubble sandstone with ashlar dressings, while the western end and stair tower are made of squared stone. The church has pointed arch lancet windows.

The entrance elevation includes a broad pointed arch doorway at the center, which has a hoodmould and is filled with a pair of doorways topped by an ashlar gablehead. Battered buttresses with sawtooth coping flank the entrance, and there are small narrow lancets on either side. Above the doorway is a large circular window with a hoodmould, featuring cusped, cruciform, metal tracery. At the apex, there is a birdcage bellcote with a slated apron, a timber-formed opening that is part-railed, and a tall slated pinnacle above, all supported by overhanging, bracketed eaves.

The north elevation, facing Station Road, has six bays. An advanced gabled transept is located on the outer left, featuring three stepped lights. The center bays of the nave have four tall lancets, while the outer bay to the right has a projecting semicircular stair tower with a corbel course at the height of the neighboring imposts and four small lights above. The stair tower has a half-conical roof topped with a finial. The transept and porch project to the rear.

The church features colored glass in square leaded panes, with protective perspex sheets applied externally. The roof is covered with purple slates, and there are coped skews and red ridge tiles, along with leaded aprons remaining from ridge ventilators. The interior was not seen in 1996.

Adjacent to the church is a church hall that matches the church in both material and design. This gabled rectangular-plan hall has a pointed arch door at the center of the gable facing the street, accompanied by a fanlight and flanking pointed arch lights. The gablehead features an oculus, and the lights and fanlight have Y-tracery, with protective perspex sheets. The hall also has coped skews and a slate roof.

The property is enclosed by a dwarf boundary wall with saddleback coping, which steps at intervals and has railings in front of the hall.
