Description
St David's Parish Church, built between 1938 and 1939 by A Gardiner and Gardiner-McLean, is a cruciform church featuring an entrance tower. The structure is made of brick with reconstituted stone dressings, cills, and lintels, which include a quasi-keystone detail.
On the southwest elevation, the entrance tower is two stages high and centrally located, featuring a broad doorway that is highlighted by a square carved panel above it, depicting the burning bush. This doorway is flanked by triangular brick shafts, and there is a tall narrow window above, set below a gabled wallhead. The roof is steeply pitched, covered with lead, and has a cross at the top. The return elevations have small windows at ground level and tall, slit windows above. Lean-to bays of the nave flank the tower, each with tall narrow windows. There are narrow bays of single-storey aisles that clasp the nave, slightly advanced on either side, featuring recessed glazed brick-wide crosses.
The northwest and southeast elevations showcase broad and tall transepts with piend roofs that are advanced to the rear. Each transept has three stepped narrow windows at the center and comparatively broad windows on the return to Boreland Drive. There are three bays of the nave flanking each transept, with each bay being single-storey and having a narrow window and a gablehead above. The clerestorey windows behind are tripartite with timber mullions and similar gableheads.
At the southeast rear, there is a lean-to vestry entrance adjacent to an earlier church hall. The church features small-pane timber glazing, with some replacements and some retaining chevron grooved glass. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are square downpipes.
Inside, there are wrought-iron hoop railings along Boreland Drive, supported by brick piers that terminate at the pedestrian gates.
