Description
The Free Church in Dalmore was built in 1843 and underwent alterations by A. & W. Reid from Elgin in 1862, with further changes made in 1893. It is a rectangular church with wide gables facing northeast and southwest, constructed of rubble with tooled ashlar dressings. The northeast front features a projecting gabled porch with a round-headed entrance and a double leaf door that has a fanlight with intersecting tracery. There are flanking round-headed windows and a smaller hood-moulded center gallery window with later 19th century tracery. At the gable apex, there is a small oculus, topped by a late 19th century bellcote. The church has three-bay flanks with round-headed windows that display intersecting Y-tracery, and there are two narrow round-headed windows on the southwest gable, which flank the former pulpit and are adjacent to a single-storey Minister's room, featuring lattice pane glazing. The southwest apex and the Minister's room have end stacks, and the roofs are covered with slate.
Inside, the galleried interior is in very poor condition, and no interior fittings remain.
