Description

This is a gabled, cruciform-plan church built in 1902 by John Forrester Steel. It is located on Kirk Road, Cambusnethan. The church is constructed of red bull-faced squared and snecked sandstone with ashlar margins, featuring plate tracery and a corbelled eaves course.

The north (principal) elevation has gabled clasped buttresses and three square windows at ground level. A large, five-light pointed-arch window is situated above the gallery, with a double chamfered reveal, stone mullions, a lintel course, and a carved relief of a Tree of Life flanked by quatrefoils in the gablehead. Blind arcading is located on the gablet skewputts, and a foliate stone finial sits atop the gable. The south (rear) elevation is gabled, featuring a large quatrefoil window at the centre, although the lower portion is partially obscured by adjoining church offices. The east (side) elevation displays an advanced gable of the transept to the left, a stepped three-light window to the centre, blank returns, a narrow blank bay of the chancel, and a five-bay regularly fenestrated nave with Y-tracery windows and a corbelled eaves course. The mirrored west (side) elevation incorporates a tower abutting the second bay from the left and a blank third bay.

The tower is divided into three stages and features gabled clasped buttresses, a rectangular door with a roll-moulded reveal, a small square window on the second stage, a dividing cornice between the second and third stages, battering to squared corner piers with chamfered panels and stone caps, round-arched tripartite openings to the belfry, and a castellated parapet. A recessed and truncated slated spire topped with a lead finial rises above. A two-stage stair round tower abuts the main tower to the west, featuring staggered arrow slit windows, a corbelled eaves course, a slated conical roof, and a lead finial. Leaded square-pane windows are throughout, and the roof is covered in graded grey slates with decorative ridge tiles and cast-iron rainwater goods.

Inside, a gallery is located at the north end of the nave, with blind trefoil arcading to the balcony, and a clock centered and supported by a column with a foliate capital. Pointed transept arches are architraved, and there is a blind pointed arch in the chancel wall. The timber roof is supported by stone corbels.

A plain gabled church hall connects to the east return of the south transept. A porch with a chamfered, broad segmental arch door and a pediment breaking the eaves abuts the transept. An advanced, rectangular gabled hall sits to the right, featuring a stepped three-light window, a jettied crossgable with a squared and shouldered apex, and a rectangular bipartite window and door to the north return. The hall has an eaves course. It has diamond-pane leaded windows, grey slates, and lead flashing.

A low boundary wall constructed of bull-faced red sandstone with saddleback coping and modern railings borders the property. Square-plan ashlar gatepiers with a base course and quadripartite gabled caps mark the entrances.
