Hyndland Parish Church, 79 Hyndland Road, Glasgow

Hyndland Parish Church, located at 79 Hyndland Road in Glasgow, was designed by architect William Leiper and completed in 1886. This simple Gothic cruciform church features a nave and aisles with transepts and a chancel, along with a projected tower to the north that remains incomplete above an elaborate porch. The exterior is constructed from bull-faced red ashlar with polished quoins, margins, and dressings, and includes buttressed aisles and angles. The church is adorned with large pointed arch windows that have moulded reveals, hood-moulds, and geometric tracery. The southwest portal is a pointed arch with nook shafts that support a hollow chamfer moulding and a cusped soffit. A recessed trefoil-headed door features decorative studded hinges, while the southeast door has a roll-moulded surround and is gabled with a cusped tympanum resting on elaborately carved corbels.

Inside, the nave is separated from the aisles by a pointed arcade of clustered columns topped with foliate capitals. The open timber roof is supported by engaged columns that rest on figurative corbels. The east window, designed by Douglas Strachan in 1921, serves as a war memorial. Aisle windows were created by Douglas Hamilton around 1940, Gordon Webster around 1960, and Sax Shaw in 1969. The chancel and choir stalls feature carved and panelled oak, and there is a polychrome marble altar table supported on colonnettes, accompanied by a carved reredos flanked by figures of saints in niches. The church also contains an elaborate octagonal polychrome marble and ashlar font and pulpit, the latter featuring a carved oak tester. A brass eagle lectern is present, along with a Henry Willis organ from 1887 located in the north transept. The former Lady Chapel in the south transept was converted in 1966 by I J Ballantine into a Memorial Chapel, which includes modern furnishings and hanging lamps. The church features wrought-iron screens and a window by William Wilson from 1962, as well as ornate wrought-iron lamps and lamp brackets created by Starkie Gardner & Co and Taylor & Tucker, both of London.
