Description
Jordanhill Parish Church, located at 28 Woodend Drive in Glasgow, was designed by architect James Miller and built between 1904 and 1905, with the west aisle added around 1922. This church is constructed in the English perpendicular style and features elaborate tracery. The exterior is made of stugged and snecked ashlar with polished margins and quoins, and the church is oriented from south to north, with the altar at the north end.
The main south elevation has buttresses and a gabled roof, with the aisle and nave connected to the southeast tower by additional buttresses. The ground level of the nave includes three bipartite lights, while above is a large four-centred arched window with a hood mould and panel tracery. To the left, the aisle features a buttressed gable with a pointed arch doorway and a traceried window above. To the right stands a short square bell tower with angle buttresses that rise in two stages. The base of the tower has a hood moulded door, and the upper stage includes traceried louvred openings and a deep crenellated parapet with pinnacles at the corners.
The nave consists of five bays, with buttresses flanking the bipartite traceried lights set in square-headed roll-moulded panels. To the north, there is a large hall and offices built around 1922, which were extended in 1956. This brick hall has a single-storey rendered wing at the rear. The church is surrounded by a low coped stugged ashlar wall that supports modern low cast-iron railings.
Inside, the five-bay west aisle is separated from the nave by a pointed arch arcade supported on clustered columns. There is a gallery at the south end, accessed by a stair at the east end of the aisle, with a panelled front. The interior features pine pews, an oak carved communion table, and a pulpit, with the organ set in the reredos. The chancel floor was slightly raised around 1979. The north gable has a large three-light stained glass window that is artificially lit, along with a small "Burning Bush" window at the apex. The church also boasts a hammerbeam roof.
