Description
St Margaret's Church, located at 1996 Great Western Road in Glasgow, was designed by J F Matthew in 1931 and is an addition to the hall built in 1925 by Jeffrey Waddell. The church features a round-arched design with Gothic detailing, a nave tower, and transeptal side chapels, constructed from snecked rubble and supported by buttresses.
The tall saddle-back east tower, which serves as the liturgical west entrance, has gabletted crow-stepped gables and apex pediments. The entrance on the south face has a shaped lintel, while the east side features narrow loophole windows and a tall continuous round-arched panel above a louvred bellcote at the upper part.
On the south elevation, there are four regular simple round-arched narrow windows, flanked by short parapet sections that include two and three-light windows, as well as an oval window that lights the chancel. The west elevation, which is the liturgical east side, has a narrow window and an oculus in the gable, along with simply-detailed attached halls in an L-plan. The north elevation features a semi-engaged turret with a pepper-pot roof to the east and three transeptal chapels.
Inside, the church has rock-faced snecked rubble walls. The north arcade is elliptically arched and includes a west gallery with a carved timber front. The timber chancel fittings, furniture, pulpit, and lectern are notable features, along with a marble font. The chancel windows on the south and east (west) walls are adorned with three-light stained glass created by Alexander Russell from Dundee.
