St Paul's Parish Church, Main Road, Fairlie

St Paul’s Parish Church was built in 1883 by architect J J Stevenson, incorporating a church dating from 1834. It is a Gothic style building with a T-plan layout, featuring a two-stage square tower at the north gable. The south side has two low bays and a gabled porch to the east. The church is constructed of rubble stone with ashlar dressings. The tower has a geometric-traceried and pointed window facing north (the chancel), a pointed and louvred belfry opening with simple Y-tracery on each face above, a crenellated parapet with spouts, and a broached slated spire topped with a ship finial. The east elevation showcases a geometric-traceried transept window and three bays to the main body of the church, each with a hood-moulded and traceried pointed window. Shaped skews and a corbelled gablet (likely a cut-down stack or belfry) are present above the south gable. The church has slated roofs.

The interior contains several 20th-century leaded glass windows by artists including Morris, Heaton, Butler and Bayne, Powell, Dearle, Rev Arthur Allen, Gordon, and Alfred Webster. The pulpit was designed by Bennet and was exhibited at the 1888 Empire exhibition. A 1915 communion table and lectern were both designed and carved by Rev Arthur Allen. The spire finial is a model of the yacht 'Latifa', dedicated in 1951 as a memorial to Wm. Fyfe of Fairlie, a naval architect. The building remains in ecclesiastical use.
