St Peter's Episcopal Church, Francis Street, Stornoway, Lewis

St Peter's Episcopal Church, located on Francis Street in Stornoway, Lewis, was built in 1839. An inscription on the belfry tower notes it was "Erected by voluntary subscription 18(?3)9." The church features a Gothic architectural style with a rectangular plan and includes a smaller, narrower chancel added in 1954, a low gabled vestry on the north side, and a front porch that may be original. The exterior is dry-dashed with polished yellow ashlar margins and slate roofs.

The nave's flank windows have timber cusped tracery, and there is a stained glass memorial window from around 1898 on the south side. The tower is shallow and slightly advanced from the main wall, with a pinnacled belfry stage that rises above the main roof ridge. It has a pointed belfry opening and a classical cornice. The bell, which is said to be inscribed "Te Deum Laudamus 1631," was once the town bell but was recast in memory of Canon H A Meaden.

Inside, the roof features Gothic detailing in the cornice, ribs, vaulting, and unusual centre pendants, all presumably original. There is a west gallery, likely original as well, with an arcaded Gothic front in timber, supported by a pair of slender cast-iron columns. An organ and tubes were installed in 1887, gifted by Mary Jane, widow of Sir James Matheson, to commemorate Queen Victoria's Jubilee.

The pulpit is particularly elaborate and sculptural, octagonal in shape, supported by a central pier and a ring of columns, with canopied niches on each face that contain figures. A triptych serves as a memorial to John Alexander MacAskill, who drowned in the Iolaire disaster in 1919. Additionally, framed documents record a gift to St Moluag's, Eoropie, of David Livingstone's prayer book by his daughter, Anna Mary Livingstone Wilson, on January 23, 1914. The church also possesses an early font taken from the Flannan Isles, though it was not seen in 1989. Surrounding the church is a rubble-built perimeter wall, rubble gatepiers, decorative cast-iron vehicle gates, and a wrought-iron pedestrian gate.
