Description
Carmyle Church, located at 135 Carmyle Avenue in Carmyle, Glasgow, was designed by architect Alexander Petrie and completed in 1906. This rectangular plan Gothic church features transept gables at the south end, a vestibule, and a rear gallery that projects outward. It also includes a three-stage square tower situated in the eastern re-entrant angle, a small gabled chancel to the north, and a piended session house and vestry. The church is constructed entirely of bull-faced red ashlar with polished dressings.
On the south elevation, the tower has lintelled openings, a cusped-headed light, and a bipartite window at the ground and first stages, respectively. The second stage window is set within a corbelled panel that connects to a corbelled and crenellated parapet. Above, an octagonal drum features louvred and cusped-headed bipartite belfry openings on each face, topped with a finialed ogival dome. The central main door in the south gable is recessed and hood-moulded, with splayed reveals under a moulded arch, flanked by single lights. Above this door is a broad, hood-moulded, and depressed-arched traceried gallery window, with a cill band linking the angle buttresses, and a slit opening in the cross-finialed gable. The buttressed flanks each have five windows, each featuring an inverted 'Y' in the pointed head. The church has bracketed eaves, straight skews with gabletted skewputts, and a slate roof adorned with decorative ridge tiles and an axial ventilator.
Inside, the church has a pulpit with a panelled front at the north end, accompanied by a panelled screen behind it, with organ tubes filling the chancel arch. The gallery on the south wall also has a panelled front, and all windows are hood-moulded. The interior features a hammer-beam roof.
The church is enclosed by a wall made of bull-faced ashlar with polished dressings, coping, and pyramidal-capped square gatepiers, along with iron gates and railings.
