Description
Colston Wellpark Church, built in 1915 by H E Clifford, is a Gothic church located on Springburn Road in Glasgow. It features a gable facing the street and is constructed of bull-faced red ashlar with polished dressings. The main roof is slated, while the subordinate roofs are mostly hidden from view.
The east elevation, which faces the street, is dominated by a large flamboyant traceried window that is divided into two levels and flanked by angle buttresses. These buttresses have uniform sections topped with gabletted pinnacles. The main gable head is offset and adorned with a cross finial. On the south side, there is a square porch that includes a hood-moulded main doorway with a two-leaf door and splayed reveals. The church has three-bay aisles that are set back from the main gable. At the east end of the church, there is a hall.
