Rosewell Parish Church, Carnethie Street, Rosewell

Rosewell Parish Church, located on Carnethie Street in Rosewell, was built in 1871 and underwent later alterations by Hardy & Wight in 1897. This gabled hall church features a gablet belfry, short transepts, and a shallow semi-circular chancel to the west, along with a square-plan presbytery to the north. The church is constructed of red brick with yellow brick margins and ashlar dressings. It has a base course, half buttresses with quoined pilasters above, an ashlar date stone at the entrance porch, a square panel with carved detail and inscription at the gablehead, and a dentilled eaves course.

The entrance elevation features a pitched entrance porch at the center with a two-leaf, pointed-arched boarded door, accompanied by a two-leaf boarded door to the right return. Above, there is a circular window centered in the gablet belfry. The ground level has flanking windows.

The rear elevation includes a centered, three-light semi-circular chancel topped with a semi-conical roof and a gable above, with half-buttresses flanking the ground.

The south side elevation is three bays wide, with an advanced single bay transept on the outer right. Each bay has a window with a half buttress in between, and the gabled transept also features a window with a half buttress flanking it at ground level. This arrangement is mirrored on the north elevation.

Inside, the church is aisleless with shallow transepts to the north and south. There is a hood-moulded pointed arch over the altar, with the chancel behind it, and an organ located in the chancel. The interior includes a boarded dado, hood-moulds over the windows, timber boarding on the ceiling, an octagonal pulpit to the left of the altar, a portable font, and timber pews.

The windows are pointed-arched with lying panes, and there is a circular window to the east. The roof is made of banded grey slate, with slate used for the presbytery, and features slab coped skews and buttresses, as well as ashlar skews on the transepts. The church also has cast-iron rainwater goods.
