Description
The Parish Church on Balcurvie Road in Windygates was completed in 1927. It features a rectangular plan and is a buttressed church with a five-bay aisless nave. The exterior is constructed from dressed, squared, and snecked rubble, complemented by a stugged ashlar porch and tabbed ashlar dressings. It has an eaves cornice and a parapet, with pointed arch and segmental headed openings, hoodmoulds, chamfered reveals, and stone mullions.
The east elevation has a three-bay broad gable with two steps leading up to a two-leaf panelled timber door set in an advanced, canted flat-roofed porch. This porch features a moulded, segmental headed doorcase in a stepped blocking course, with flanking windows on the angled faces and bipartite windows in the outer bays. Above, there is a large three-light traceried window with a hoodmould in the gablehead, topped with a stone cross finial.
The south elevation showcases five pointed arch windows, separated by two-stage, sawtooth coped and battered buttresses. The north elevation mirrors the south elevation. The west elevation includes a small piend roofed vestry at the center, featuring a door on the left side and a window on the right, along with a tall stack. Below a glazed oculus in the finialled gablehead, there is a bell with a protective canopy.
The church has small pane leaded glazing throughout, grey slate roofing, a coped rendered stack, ashlar coped skews, and square skewputts. It also features cast iron downpipes with decorative rainwater hoppers and fixings.
Inside, the vestibule has plain cornicing and a memorial stone dedicated to Rev David Hobbs MA. The nave retains its original pews, with a boarded timber and open beam ceiling and a boarded timber dado. The chancel platform includes a carved Communion Table, a font, and steps leading up to a chamfered pulpit with a pointed arch sounding board. Flanking doors provide access to the vestry, which contains a bell pull for a hand-rung bell enclosed in timber housing and a stylised Art Nouveau timber fireplace.
The boundary walls consist of saddleback coped rubble, with coped ashlar gatepiers and decorative cast iron railings.
