Description

The Reformed Presbyterian Church on Kenilworth Avenue in Wishaw is an early 19th-century building designed in an early Gothic style. It has a rectangular plan oriented northeast to southwest and features a gabled roof with a bellcote at the southwest end. The church includes a single-storey lean-to porch with an advanced gabled entrance on the southwest elevation and has buttressed sides, constructed from yellow ashlar sandstone.

On the southwest elevation, the central porch leads to an advanced gabled entrance bay. This entrance features hoodmoulds over a pointed arch, which is double chamfered and has a pointed cusped arch with trefoils in the spandrels. The entrance is flanked by engaged columns with stiff leaf capitals, and there is a trefoil at the apex along with pedimented clasping buttresses at the corners. The flanking bays contain small hoodmoulded, bipartite pointed-arch cusped windows with stone mullions. The eaves course is supported by corbelling, and similar single windows are found on the returns. Above the entrance, there is a hoodmoulded rose window, and an arcaded bellcote with a gabled roof is supported on stone corbels, featuring trefoils at both the apex and base.

The northeast elevation has a multifoil design at the apex and includes a chimney stack at the gablehead. To the right, there is a single-storey gabled office wing with one window and a gablehead stack, along with a window and door on the southeast return, and an advanced wing on the northwest return.

The southeast elevation is symmetrical with five bays, regularly featuring lancet windows that are buttressed and corbelled. The northwest elevation mirrors the southeast side.

The roof has coped skews with gablet skewputts and kneelers, covered with grey slates and lead flashings. There are paired small gabled and finialed vents on the sides and a single vent on the ridge, along with cast-iron rainwater goods.

The interior was not seen in 2000.
