Bow Of Fife Free Church

The Bow Of Fife Free Church, designed by Gillespie and Scott in 1898 and incorporating a church built in 1844, was enlarged in 1912. This Romanesque, three-bay, rectangular hall church features a front made of stugged coursers with polished dressings. The entrance door is gabled and round-headed, complete with a hood-mould. Above the entrance, there are triple round-headed windows. To the left, there is a three-stage tower that includes a belfry in the upper stage, with double round-headed openings fitted with louvres. The tower is topped with a corbelled parapet that has corner spouts and encloses an octagonal red-tiled spire with a weather-cock.

On the east side, the church is constructed of coursed rubble, with each bay containing a single round-headed window and stepped buttresses in between. A choir room, possibly added in 1912, is connected to the church by a flat-roofed walkway. This single-storey, rectangular structure is made of stugged, snecked rubble with polished dressings and features a mullioned three-light window on the north side, topped with a piended slate roof. The west side includes a two-bay aisle from 1912, which is under the main roof and has three closely spaced cusped lancets in each bay, with buttresses in between. The transept, also dated 1912, features a gable on the west side with a mullioned three-light window and a stepped weather-table.

Inside, there is a gallery to the north and an arcade leading to the west aisle. The organ is located in the transept. The pulpit and panelling date from 1912, while the pews were installed in 1898. In the northeast corner, there is a gated family pew with gothic detailed bench ends.
