Description
The building is a church located on High Street in Fochabers, designed by D and R MacMillan, Aberdeen, in 1900. It features a Gothic style, constructed from bullfaced rubble with tooled ashlar dressings. The principal south-facing gabled frontage includes a square tower with a spire at the southeast angle. There is an off-centre pointed-headed recessed entrance at the base of the tower, which has shallow gabled detailing above the door.
The tall, unstaged tower is supported by clasping buttresses and features paired louvred lancets and clock faces at the upper level. It has a corbelled wallhead with a crenellated parapet and angle pinnacles, topped by an octagonal facetted spire with a cast-iron weathervane. A large geometric tracery window is located in the center at the base of the southwest gallery stair projection. The five-bay buttressed flanks are lit by paired hoodmoulded lancets with lattice-pane glazing.
The roof is slate with a red tiled ridge and apex finials. The interior has been remodelled and is currently used as a shop and museum.
