Description
The Parish Church in Croft, Auchtermuchty, originally built in 1780, features a rectangular layout with a north aisle added in 1838 by architects Simpson and David Simpson, with Robert Hutchison serving as inspector. The church is constructed of whin rubble with freestone dressings. It has two round-arched, keyblocked windows on the south side and two smaller windows on the east side, with upper windows featuring arched heads. Lunettes are present in the gables, and there is an oblong six-column bellcote with a concave stone top topped by a pinnacle on the west gable. The north aisle includes a large Gothic window on the north gable, which retains its original glass. A vestry was added at the west end in 1870-1871, along with a late porch at the east end.
Inside, the church has a U-plan gallery and features cast-iron columns in the original section, with wooden columns in the aisle. The ceiling is coved with a central roundel. The interior has been refurbished and partly rearranged by P. MacGregor Chalmers in 1912. There are also some memorial tablets dating from the early 19th century.
