St Peter's Rc Church And Presbytery, 46-50 Hyndland Street, Glasgow

St Peter's Roman Catholic Church and Presbytery, built in 1903 by Peter Paul Pugin of Pugin and Pugin, is a basilican-plan church with a two-storey presbytery located at 46-50 Hyndland Street, Glasgow. The church features a late-Gothic design with nine bays, buttresses, and includes a baptistery and sacristy, alongside the adjoining presbytery. Constructed from rock-faced red sandstone with ashlar dressings, it incorporates a deep base course, hood moulding, and cornice. The church's windows are simple gothic tracery, and a canted apse extends to the east. An adjoining gabled sacristy is situated to the northeast.

The east (entrance) elevation is symmetrical, with a small, pointed-arched window above the central entrance, adorned with carved insignia. Flanking the entrance are paired pointed-arched doorways with timber doors. A carved frieze sits above the doorways, and lancet windows and a smaller Venetian window are located above. A Celtic cross finial tops the gable. The right-hand entrance bay features a pointed-arched doorway with a statue in a niche above, while the north aisle boasts an elliptically-arched entrance with a cusp-headed window and a plate-tracery rose window above. A recessed, two-storey, two-bay baptistery adjoins the church, with round-arched lancet windows on the ground floor and rectangular windows on the upper floor.

The north elevation has nine bays, featuring tripartite shallow-arched aisle windows and arched clerestory windows with simple tracery. Primarily gothic tracery windows are present throughout the church, with some fixed leaded lancet windows. The roof is covered in grey slates, and cast-iron rainwater goods are employed.

The interior showcases an excellent decorative scheme, including notable stained glass. A seven-bay pointed-arch nave arcade rests on polygonal stone piers. Carved timber pews with quatrefoil details at the ends and a carved timber gallery to the west are present. A steeply pitched, trussed roof is supported by sculpted corbels. The sanctuary features a marble high altar with sculpted panels, supported by engaged Corinthian columns. Finely carved stone Gothic reredos are found in the apse, incorporating an altar, a filigreed spire over the tabernacle, and carved figures. The painted sanctuary ceiling exhibits geometric gothic stencilling and gilt. Side chapels line the north and south aisles, each containing carved stone altars, reredos, marble altar rails with brass gates, and traces of original stencilling. The 1948 Earley & Co stained glass window, depicting Christ the King, is located to the west. A door on the northeast leads to the sacristy.

The presbytery is linked to the church by a single-storey, stepped, buttressed corridor to the southwest. The asymmetrical, two-storey, three-by-six-bay presbytery has a wide, segmental-arched, hoodmoulded entrance on the west elevation, recessed timber entrance door with side lights, bi-partite window openings to the upper storey, and a canted bay to the far right. The north elevation is asymmetrical, with a gabled middle bay containing a four-light leaded pane window with stone mullions and transoms. The presbytery predominantly features plate glass timber sash and case windows. A corniced gable stack is situated to the south, along with piended roofs featuring raised ventilating sections and axial stacks.
