Description

St Bridget's Roman Catholic Church, located at 15 Swinton Road in Glasgow, is a Grade B listed building designed in the Gothic style by Pugin and Pugin. It is part of a series of similar Roman Catholic churches in the west of Scotland. The church features stone-cleaned, rock-faced ashlar with polished dressings, cusped tracery, and slate roofs with ridging tiles. The structure includes a nave and aisles, with a prominent gabled east front that has paired doorways set in a projecting wall area, a figure in a niche, and a large traceried window above. There are angle buttresses and three-light windows in the aisles and clearstoreys.

Inside, the church has plastered walls, pointed aisle arcades supported by octagonal columns, and timber roof framing. The building is set behind a low boundary wall along the street, which includes piers, wrought-iron gates, and railings. To the south, there is a plain single-storey and attic presbytery with an L-plan front, featuring a central door. The presbytery is constructed of snecked rubble with ashlar dressings, sash windows, and slate roofs adorned with finials, although the stacks have been cut down.
