Chapelhall Parish Church, Russell Street, Chapelhall

Chapelhall Parish Church, located on Russell Street in Chapelhall, was built in 1857, with an additional hall constructed in 1882 and a further hall added in 1954. This Gothic-style church is designed in a T-plan and features a tower with a truncated spire. The exterior is made of stugged sandstone rubble in various colours, with ashlar dressings and a slate roof that has diminishing courses.

The church has paired lancet windows with lying-pane glazing and louvred trefoil-headed ventilators on the north, south, and east sides. There are trefoil-headed windows on the ground floor and a three-light pointed gallery window on the west gable, along with a trefoil ventilator in the roof space. The ashlar-coped skews have bracketted skewputts, and fleur-de-lis finials adorn the north, south, and west gables, while the east gable has a capped apex. The remains of a ridge ventilator are also present.

On the southeast elevation, there is a gabled porch to the left with a step-chamfered pointed doorcase, a hoodmould, and a boarded door featuring a multi-pane fanlight. To the right, a buttressed tower has a quatrefoil window on the first stage, paired trefoil-headed windows, and a square-headed window with a hoodmould on the second stage. The octagonal third stage has alternating trefoil-headed louvred openings and oculi, topped with a finialled spirelet. The gable to the right has paired lancets and a ventilator.

The east elevation features a central gable with paired lancets and a ventilator, while a door with a flat ogival-headed and chamfered doorcase is located in a slightly recessed bay to the left. The brick-built hall from 1882 has a piended slate roof and is advanced from the slightly recessed bay on the right.

On the west elevation, the central gable has three windows on the ground floor, gallery windows, and a roof ventilator above. There are windows on the side elevation of the entrance porch to the right, and the hall from 1954 is situated to the left.

The north elevation has a central gable with paired lancets and a roof ventilator, with the hall from 1954 advanced from a recessed bay on the right and the hall from 1882 to the left.

Inside, the church features a panelled gallery at the west end supported by two cast-iron columns. The plain plaster ceiling has exposed braces and tie beams, and there is a wood-grained boarded dado, pews (some with doors), and a pulpit. A marble font and various memorials are present, including a war memorial in the porch and memorials to William Roberton of Laughope and the Rev Alexander Stewart, the first minister of the church.
