Description
The Church of Scotland on Main Street in Glenboig is a Gothic Revival church designed by George Arthur of Airdrie, built between 1890 and 1891. It features an early English style with a gabled front facing the street. The exterior is constructed from squared and snecked sandstone, accented with ashlar dressings, and includes band course strings and hoodmoulds on the front buttressed elevations.
The west elevation showcases the nave and aisles, with a central doorway that has a moulded surround, single nookshafts, and bell capitals. The entrance features a boarded double door with decorative cast-iron hinges. Flanking the doorway are two narrow lancet windows, and above them is a window consisting of three stepped lancets. At the gablehead, there is a gabled and finialled ashlar bellcote. The north and south flanks are four bays long, with tall lancet windows separated by buttresses. The east gable has widely spaced lancet windows flanking the pulpit.
Inside, the church has a ceiled collar-beam roof supported by four arched brace beams, made of laminated pitch pine with pierced ornament and moulded corbels. There is a gallery at the front gable, with the pulpit positioned opposite, and all furnishings are made of yellow pine. The stained glass in the west window was created by Sadie F McLellan in 1975, and the organ, built by Ingram of Edinburgh, dates back to 1841.
