Description

Longriggend and Meadowfield Church, built in 1890 by A McGregor Mitchell, is a rectangular-plan Gothic church located on Main Street in Caldercruix. The church is constructed from snecked cream sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a plain red tile roof. It has a base course, a moulded eaves course, and ashlar-coped skews with skewputts. The nave is buttressed, and the gable includes a squat three-stage tower at the southwest angle. The tower has three-light louvered belfry apertures on the third stage facing south and west, and is topped with crowstepped pediments at the parapet, which includes a blocked aperture and finialled octagonal pinnacles at the corners. The windows are pointed, with trefoil-headed designs on the ground floor front elevation and in the belfry apertures.

On the south gable, there is a door to the tower on the left, featuring a pointed-arch doorcase with multiple moulding at the head and a circular opening above. The second stage of the tower is blank and narrow, while the third stage has belfry apertures. The central bay is slightly advanced to the right and contains a three-light window on the ground floor, a geometric-traceried window for the gallery, and a vesica above with a Celtic-cross finial. To the right, there is a slightly recessed bay with a two-light window.

The east elevation has a pointed-arch doorway within a pedimented doorpiece on the left and five windows to the right. The west elevation features the tower on the right, with a window on the first stage and a narrow window above, along with belfry apertures on the third stage; there are five windows to the left. The north gable includes a single-storey vestry.

The interior has not been seen. The church is accompanied by a gatepier and boundary wall, which consists of two capped and panelled gatepiers and a coped snecked rubble boundary wall.
