Description

The Session House at Temple Parish Church, likely designed by Thomas Brown of Uphall around 1832, is a single bay, single storey building with a rectangular plan in the Tudor Gothic style. It is constructed from tooled coursed sandstone with droved dressings. The exterior features pointed arched openings with chamfered reveals, long and short droved quoins on the north and south elevations, and an eaves course.

On the west elevation, which serves as the entrance, the design is symmetrical with a gabled roof. The central doorway is hoodmoulded and has simple label stops, leading to a two-leaf boarded timber door adorned with decorative ironwork hinges.

The south elevation is mostly obscured by a timber lean-to addition topped with a corrugated iron roof. The east elevation is similarly obscured by a brick lean-to addition, also with a corrugated iron roof, but features a boarded timber door on the right return.

The north elevation is symmetrical with a single bay and a single window at the center, which contains a diamond pane. The building is topped with a grey slate roof featuring a lead ridge and saddle back skews, and has a polished sandstone, corbelled, coped gablehead stack on the west side.

The interior was not seen in 1998.
