Description

Cardonald Parish Church, built between 1888 and 1889 by architect P MacGregor Chalmers, is a gothic church featuring a nave with aisles, a complex roof structure, a chancel, a transept, and a porch. An additional side aisle, also designed by Chalmers, was added in 1899. The church is constructed from bull-faced red ashlar with polished dressings and has slated roofs. A hall to the south is likely not part of the original design. The windows are primarily plain lancets, with stepped three-light windows in the main gables and straight skews.

Inside, the chancel arch and aisle arcades feature pointed arches and an open timber roof, along with a series of leaded glass windows dating from the late 19th to mid-20th century. The hall is also designed in a gothic style, featuring lancet windows in buttressed bays and traceried gable windows. The eastern wall's northmost bay, facing the street, has a gabled design with a porch alongside it, finished with lined render. The entire property is enclosed by plain iron railings.
