Stornoway Parish Church, Lewis

Stornoway Parish Church is a Gothic church originally built in 1794, which has undergone significant remodeling since then. It was repaired in 1831 and received additions in 1885, with some later work evident. The church features a gabled, tall, rectangular plan with a full-height narrow jamb on the south side, topped by a tall belfry with a finial and leaded windows. There is a parapetted square porch located in the re-entrant angle. The flanks have tall windows with Y-tracery and key-stoning, which may be Gothic tracery set within Georgian round arches. The west gable includes a row of small lights at ground level and a larger round-arched gallery window above, filled with simplified loop tracery. The exterior is harled with ashlar margins and has a slate roof. There is a low rear wing and quoins on the east side, along with a low boundary wall and plain iron railings. The interior was not inspected during the 1989 resurvey.
