Churchyard, Ramshorn Theatre, 98 Ingram Street, Glasgow

The Ramshorn Theatre, located at 98 Ingram Street in Glasgow, was originally designed as a Gothic church by architect Thomas Rickman between 1824 and 1826. It was converted into a theatre by Page and Park around 1990 to 1992. The building has a cruciform plan and features a tall three-stage tower on the south arm, aligned with the axis of Candleriggs. The exterior is constructed of polished ashlar and includes a cill course, pointed arched openings with hood moulding and carved stops, as well as carved apex finials on the gables and pinnacles. The long arms of the church have tall symmetrical windows with geometric tracery arranged in a 2-3-2 light pattern, a dentiled cornice, and a crenellated parapet. The gable walls feature a central three-light lancet with a traceried head, flanked by strip pilasters that rise to traceried pinnacles capped with conical tops, along with additional narrow lancets. Clasping buttresses at the corners rise to pinnacles, while the rear has simple lancets.

The tower has an entrance at its base, which consists of two narrow panelled doors with a trumeau under a pointed head in shafted reveals, topped by a crocketted mock gable. The tower stage is supported by bold buttresses with gablets and has octagonal piers that rise to pinnacles. The belfry stage features triple louvred lights, blind arcading, and sculpted bands, along with a corbelled pierced balustrade.

The northern rear elevation is built of rubble. Inside, as seen in 2011, the entrance hall includes a carved timber war memorial and a plaster-vaulted ceiling. The side aisles were removed during renovations in 1886-1887, creating an open plan foyer with a black box theatre auditorium in the nave, which has a ribbed plaster ceiling with geometric tiercerons. The stained glass windows, created by various artists, are mostly from the late 19th century. There is also a vaulted crypt with some carved memorial panels on the walls and floor.

The churchyard is well laid out, featuring burial 'aisles' to the northeast of the church, surrounded by ashlar walls with inset tombstones, most of which date from the 19th century. The boundary walls to the street are shallow, made of ashlar and coped, and are complemented by decorative cast-iron railings and gates, along with gabletted gatepiers capped with conical tops.
