Knockbain Munlochy Parish Church and Boundary Wall

Knockbain Parish Church is a late 19th-century, rectangular-plan Gothic style church constructed in 1886 by A Maitland and Sons. The building is built of coursed rubble red sandstone. A shallow gabled entrance porch is positioned to the southwest, with a small, rectangular-plan vestry adjoined to the northeast.

The main, three-bay southwest elevation features a slightly advanced centre bay containing a pointed arch doorway flanked by two small, hoodmoulded lancet windows. These windows form part of a continuous band course extending across the elevation. Above the porch are three tall lancet windows; the taller, central window features simple plate tracery and all are linked by a continuous hoodmould, and sit above a cill course. A small, glazed rose window is directly above. A Gothic style stone belfry sits at the apex, topped with a metal decorative weather vane with a quatrefoil centre detail. The outer bays are slightly recessed, containing a large lancet window set within a blind Gothic arch. Pinnacled and tiered buttresses flank the outer bays.

The north and south side elevations are six bays long and feature pointed arch gallery windows. The east gable has two stained glass, pointed arch windows.

The windows are predominantly glazed with leaded glass, some incorporating triangular coloured glass to their margins. The slated gabled roof has three triangular, louvred vents. A smaller, rectangular-plan meeting hall and vestry (currently used as a kitchen, as of 2014) is located to the rear, accessible both externally and from a hall linking it to the main worship space.

The interior, inspected in 2014, is galleried on three sides and displays a decorative Gothic revival style. The entrance leads into a vestibule with stairs on either side giving access to the timber-panelled gallery above. The main space features timber floors and contains pitch pine tongue and groove pews facing a large, raised timber-panelled pulpit, flanked by dog-leg stairs. The pulpit is framed by a decorative timber sounding board with a trefoil arch and a pointed arch plaster hood. The gallery has recessed trefoil detailing, supported on slender Doric columns at ground floor level and Corinthian columns at the second floor, carrying wide-span pointed arches. The timber-panelled roof has a diagonally patterned finish, with decorative flower and star shaped vents along its apex. The stained glass windows flanking the pulpit date to the mid-to-late 20th century. The former vestry, located to the rear of the east wall, has timber-panelled doors, tongue and groove panels up to dado rail height, and a simple cornice.

A low, course rubble boundary wall with rubble copes runs along the west side.
