Auchterderran Parish Church, Woodend Road, Auchterderran

Auchterderran Parish Church is a cruciform-plan church located on Woodend Road, Auchterderran. The main structure dates to 1789, with significant alterations and additions made in 1891 by William Constable. A flat-roofed extension was added in the earlier 20th century.

The church is constructed of dressed squared and snecked rubble with droved quoins, featuring a moulded eaves course, pointed and segmental-headed openings, hoodmoulds, chamfered reveals, and traceried windows on the north and south elevations. The west elevation has an advanced gable with a two-leaf timber door, a small-pane pointed fanlight, a decorative hoodmould, and windows in flanking bays. A cross-finialled open bellcote sits atop the gable. A recessed bay to the right has two tall windows and a lower, blank recessed bay to the left. The north elevation features a broad, ball-finialled gable with a corniced, traceried window at its centre and a smaller window to the right. The east elevation includes an advanced gable with a window (originally a door) above a memorial stone, other windows, and a recessed bay with two tall windows and a small lean-to structure. The southern elevation has a traceried window at its centre, with an arrow slit dated 1891 in the gablehead.

Small-pane leaded glazing is used throughout, with some coloured glass in the chancel and east transept. The roof is covered in grey slates with decorative terracotta ridge tiles, and a timber-louvred and slated fleche, set diagonally, boasts a decorative terracotta finial. Ashlar coped skews and gablet skewputts are also present.

The interior features a north-facing chancel with a Norman window positioned above timber-panelled blind arcading. This design is reflected in the communion table, font, lectern, and a two-stage pulpit with a brass handrail. An organ from Ingram & Co (1907) is also present. The transepts and south aisle contain fixed timber pews and panelled galleries with rounded corners, raked floors, and sturdy cast-iron columns with moulded capitals. The walls are lined with boarded timber dado.

Stained glass windows are located in the north transept, featuring "The Good Shepherd" and "The Risen Lord" (1930), and three smaller commemorative windows of stylised foliage (c.1890). The east transept holds two full-height windows by A Ballantine & Son, “The Good Samaritan” (1905) and “Sing We To The Lord” (1912), each above coloured windowheads in the gallery. A glazed oculus in the tracery of the south window depicts "Suffer the Little Children to Come Unto Me" with a central lily and dove of peace.

Boundary walls, gatepiers, and gates surround the church. The north boundary has coped rubble walls and coped, rusticated ashlar gatepiers. The west boundary has low saddleback-coped rubble and coped harl walls with coped ashlar gatepiers. Decorative cast-iron gates and railings add to the external features.
