Description

St Andrew's Episcopal Church, located on Belhaven Terrace in Wishaw, was designed by Miles S Gibson in 1893. This 6-bay church features a plain Arts and Crafts Gothic style and has a rectangular plan. It is oriented east-west and is characterized by buttresses and a steeply gabled swept roof with overhanging eaves. The exterior is constructed of bull-faced red sandstone with ashlar dressings, and it includes lancet windows with chamfered margins, along with plain barge boarding on the gables.

The west elevation, which is the principal facade, has tall paired lancet windows with double chamfered reveals and stopped hood mouldings, topped by a vesica-shaped hood mould at the apex. The east elevation mirrors the west but features stepped lancets at the center. The south elevation is asymmetrical with a gabled porch on the far left that contains a lancet door. The three central bays have paired lancet windows, while the bays to the right have single cusped lancets. The north elevation is a mirror image of the south.

The church includes leaded glass and stained glass in the gables. The roof is covered with grey graded slates, featuring ridge tiles and decorative ridge tiles on the chancel, along with cross finials on the gables and cast-iron rainwater goods.

Inside, the walls are lined with brick and have ashlar dressings. There is a pointed chancel arch and an open timber beam roof supported by stone corbels. The windows have deep embrasures, and there is an organ recess off the raised chancel, as well as a door to the vestry with a corbelled lintel.

The boundary of the property consists of a low squared rubble wall along the street, topped with saddleback coping that rises to gatepiers, which are accompanied by later gates and railings.
