St Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Abercromby Street, Glasgow

St Mary's Roman Catholic Church on Abercromby Street in Glasgow was designed by Goldie and Child of London and built between 1841 and 1842. It is said to be the largest Roman Catholic church in Scotland, following St Andrew's Cathedral when it was first constructed. The church has a rectangular plan and features a classical style. The front, which faces the street, has a pedimented, two-storey gabled design that is channelled. While it was likely originally built entirely of ashlar, it now has rendered vertical panels. There is a shallow porch and sculptured winged figures in the tympanum, along with a square apex bellcote. A deep entablature extends over the rubble-built side facing Forbes Street, which includes a series of tall narrow windows and the porch. The roof is covered with slate.

Inside, the church is very elaborate, although it has been significantly altered from its original design. It has a gallery on three sides supported by two tiers of cast-iron columns, with an upper arcade that supports the roof; the original ceiling collapsed in 1865. The altar wall was remodelled in the 1870s, and the sanctuary was refitted in 1892.

The church is enclosed by iron railings on low ashlar walls, with plain square gatepiers.
