Description
Corrie Free Church is a late 19th-century church designed in a simple Gothic style with a rectangular plan. It is constructed from bull-faced, snecked rubble red sandstone, featuring ashlar dressings and a slate roof adorned with decorative terracotta ridge tiles. The church has a base course, deep bracketed eaves, and ashlar-coped skews. The east gable showcases a large pointed two-light window with a hoodmould, while single pointed windows are found elsewhere. The south elevation features pedimented gableheads that break through the swept eaves, along with diagonal buttresses at the east gable and a decorative finial. The building includes cast-iron rainwater goods and louvred cat-slide ventilators.
On the south elevation, there is a large gabled entrance porch located at the second bay from the right. This porch has a masonry base and is timber-framed above, with a two-leaf boarded pointed door flanked by windows. There are additional windows on the left and right returns, and a half-timbered gable with plain bargeboards. A window is situated in a recessed bay to the right, with three dormer-headed windows to the left and two roof ventilators.
The east gable features a central window with a cill course that extends to the diagonal buttresses. The north elevation has five symmetrically placed windows and two roof ventilators. The interior was not seen, but it includes simple Art-Nouveau stained glass windows on the north and south elevations.
The church is accompanied by gatepiers and a boundary wall. The gatepiers consist of one hemispherical-capped round-section pier and one larger pyramidal-capped round-section pier, both made of bull-faced red sandstone. They are adjoined by a grey rubble boundary wall.
