Hunterfield Road Church, Gorebridge

The Hunterfield Road Church in Gorebridge is an 1886 Gothic Revival church constructed with squared and snecked bullfaced sandstone, featuring polished dressings. The building has a rectangular plan and originally included a spire, now replaced by a truncated bellcote.

The principal, southwest elevation is three bays, with a central gabled entrance bay flanked by stair tower bays, although the bay to the left is not solely a stair tower. The central doorway features a pointed arch, nookshafts, a hoodmould with foliate label stops, and a trefoil recess in the gablehead. A boarded timber door is flanked by small windows, above which is a four-light traceried window with a matching hoodmould. The apex of the elevation is defined by a bracketed bellcote. Carved foliated corbels are present, and gableted pointed arched openings with nookshafts, hoodmoulds with foliate label stops, and trefoil recesses are found on all four sides. Paired windows are positioned on the ground and first floors of the flanking bays.

The southeast elevation, a five-bay design, incorporates later additions to the right. Paired ground-floor windows are located in the bay to the outer right, above which is a rose window. A boarded timber door and window are accessed by stone steps leading down to a basement. The earlier 20th century consists of a three-bay gabled addition to the right, which includes a pointed arch doorway, a boarded timber door, a two-pane fanlight, and windows to the flanking bays. A later 20th-century timber lean-to addition extends from the extreme right.

The northeast elevation features a rose window set in the gable and a simple stone finial, although the remainder is obscured by the roofs of later additions. The northwest elevation is a five-bay design, again with later additions to the left. It includes paired ground-floor windows in the bay to the outer right, a rose window in the gable, and windows in the remaining bays. An earlier 20th-century addition to the left has three windows in the gable, while a two-leaf glazed timber door sits on the return, now largely obscured by a later addition. A harled lean-to addition to the outer left features two windows and a profiled steel roof. A single window is set into the left return.

The roof is covered in grey slate with lead ridges and stone skews, complemented by cast iron rainwater goods.

Inside, the church is accessed through a porch leading to a stained glass screen. A stair leads to a gallery in the south corner and a small storage room in the west corner. The nave and aisles are characterized by a wagon roof supported on slender cast iron columns with floreate capitals. A pierced timber screen, communion table, and reredos featuring a blind pointed arch, supported nookshafts, and a hoodmould with foliate label stops are present. Replacement features include the pulpit, lectern, and organ. A replacement baptismal pool is located in the north corner. A hall to the northeast was under refurbishment in 1997, and a small modern meeting room is situated at the rear.

The site is enclosed by octagonal gate piers with square bases and gableted caps, a cast iron gate with barley sugar uprights, and tooled squared and snecked coped walls surmounted by matching cast iron railings along the southwest front. Snecked sandstone rubble walls with semicircular coping define the southeast and northwest boundaries.
