Clark Memorial Church, Bath Street, Largs

Clark Memorial Church, located on Bath Street in Largs, was designed by William Kerr in association with Thomas Graham Abercrombie of Paisley and built between 1890 and 1892. This early English Gothic church features a seven-bay layout, a tall three-stage tower with a spire, a vestry, and a four-bay hall at the southeast, along with a low gabled porch at the southwest. The exterior is constructed of snecked, stugged red ashlar with polished dressings.

The tower includes clasping, stepped angle buttresses at the first and second stages. The south wall has a door with a pointed moulded head and hood-moulds, and a single high-set lancet in the tall lower stage. The short second stage features five arcaded pointed-headed openings, three of which are blind, with slender shafts on each face. The third stage has tall, open, paired belfry lights in moulded reveals, divided by slender columns. The tower culminates in a tall, faceted spire adorned with lucarnes and pinnacles supported on columns.

The tower connects to the church via a rectangular hall and a semi-octagonal vestry. The projecting porch at the west has a door beneath a pointed, moulded head and hood-mould. The bays of the church body are separated by stepped buttresses with gablets above the eaves. There are five windows with geometric tracery on the north and south sides, with two in the former set in an advanced gabled aisle, and doors at either end of the north wall. The west gable features a large geometric traceried window, with gableted angle buttresses that have stepped plinths and figures under hoods, depicting Moses to the left and St John to the right. The east window also has a large geometric traceried design and angle buttresses, while the hall is lit by four lancets extending to the left.

Inside, the church has oak pews and a high dado with cusped panels and cornicing. The hammerbeam roof is complemented by light fittings supported by angelic figures. The organ was made by Willis of London, and the east window was crafted by Meikle and Sons of Glasgow, with the west and transept gallery windows designed by Stephen Adam, all gifted by John Clark.

The church is set back from the street and enclosed by a low red ashlar wall featuring battered broad gatepiers that are octagonal, with a decorative frieze, cornice, and hemispherical caps.
