Description
St Andrew's Episcopal Church, built in 1887 by Ross and Macbeth, is a simple 4 bay rectangular church designed in the first pointed Gothic style and oriented east/west. The exterior features stugged sneck coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and a base course. The north and south elevations each have two paired lancet windows and a triple lancet window in the chancel. The east gable displays three long narrow lancets, while the west gable has a Y traceried hoodmoulded window, with a porch on the left and a vestry on the right, all beneath a continuous steeply pitched slate roof. Atop the roof is a small timber louvred ridge bellcote with a facetted and bellcast spire, complete with apex cross finials.
Inside, the church has a simple design featuring an arched braced roof supported by heavy corbels. The seating consists of plain pine benches with poppyheads. The stained glass windows were created by Ballantyne and Gardiner in 1884, A L Ward in 1910, and W Wilson in 1955 and 1961. The church is enclosed by a coped rubble wall.
