Description
Resolis Parish Church, built in 1767 by James Boag, features harled walls with ashlar dressings and a slated roof. The church is a rectangular structure with four bays and includes a birdcage bellcote at the west gable. The south elevation has tall pointed arched windows, and a vestry projects from between the central bays. On the north side, two flights of steps lead up from the bank to porches with catslide roofs, positioned on either side of the centre to serve the gallery. There are later porches at the gables for access to the lower area, and the windows have later leaded glazing. Inside, the church has a galleried layout with a panelled gallery front. The gallery is supported by cast-iron columns that were grained to look like wood, replacing the original timber columns in 1896. The demi-octagonal pulpit, which stands on a later base, features a flattened ogee sounding board with Langley-esque Gothick details, supported at the back by marbled piers of clustered shafts. Mid-19th century lamp brackets are also present. The bell was made by George Watt in Edinburgh in 1787.
