Description
The Community Centre at All Saints Episcopal Church, located on West Church Street in Buckie, was designed by Alexander Ross and completed in 1876. This Gothic-style building features a four-bay rectangular church with a prominent three-stage tower at the southwest corner and an apsidal chancel at the east end. The structure is constructed of rubble with tooled and polished ashlar dressings.
The entrance is situated at the base of the tower, which is flanked by small nook shafts and features a moulded pointed-headed tympanum. The middle stage of the tower has paired lancet windows, while the upper stage is adorned with moulded pointed-headed plate traceried windows. Above this, a broached spire rises, complete with diminutive lucarnes and a cast-iron weathervane at the apex. The south elevation has three bays, buttressed and featuring gabled plate traceried windows that break the wallhead. The apsidal chancel is illuminated by a continuous row of small cusped lights, linked by a pulvinated string course at lintel height. The roof is slate, bowed and piended at the east end.
Inside, the church has a simple design. The altar is supported by paired polished red granite shafts, and while there is some coloured glass, most of the windows feature lattice-pane glazing. The furnishings include a pine pulpit and pews, and the roof is supported by braced rafters and moulded corbel heads.
Adjoining the west gable of the church is a later 19th-century rectangular gabled church hall, which has rubble with tooled ashlar dressings. The entrance front facing West Church Street has three bays, with a pointed-headed central door flanked by windows and an oculus in the set-back gable. The hall features multi-pane glazing and a slate roof.
Also connected to the church is a later 19th-century two-storey parsonage, linked by a simple narrow three-bay wing. This building also has rubble with tooled ashlar dressings and an asymmetrical three-bay L-plan east front. It includes a lean-to porch in the re-entrant angle with a side entrance, a bipartite window on the left, and a projecting rectangular three-light bay window on the right. The first floor features a tripartite window in a projecting gable, with two gabled dormers breaking the wallhead. The parsonage has two-pane glazing, coped end stacks, and a slate roof.
