Description
Greyfriars' Church, located at the Convent of Mercy on Abbey Street in Elgin, dates from the late 15th century and was restored in 1896 by architect John Kinross. The church has an oblong shape and is aisless, oriented east to west. It features large Y-tracery windows at the end gables and narrower windows along the sides, with three small ogee-headed windows positioned high at the east end of the south wall. The structure is built of random rubble with ashlar dressings, and it has a moulded eaves course topped with a cast-iron fretted frieze. The roof is made of Caithness slate.
Inside, the church contains all original fittings from the 1896 restoration, including a barrel-vaulted wooden ceiling, a large rood screen, and carved oak choir stalls. There are also 18th-century grave slabs belonging to the King family of Lesmurdie.
