Description

Broomknoll Parish Church, located on Broomknoll Street in Airdrie, was designed by James Davidson in 1888. This Gothic-style church features a T-plan layout, with gabled roofs and aisle projections, and an embattled entrance tower on the north side. The exterior is constructed from square and snecked yellow sandstone, with a base course, a continuous string course at the gallery windows, and an eaves course. The lancet windows have stopped hoodmoulds and chamfered reveals.

On the east elevation, the gabled nave is centrally located, with a small square-headed door flanked by paired small lancets. Above this is a battered string course, followed by three square-headed windows featuring stepped hoodmoulds. A large four-light clerestorey window with geometric tracery and a continuous hoodmould is situated above, topped by a stone cross at the gable's apex. To the outer left, a clasped buttress culminates in a gablet pinnacle that breaks the eaves. The left bay contains a large pointed-arch door at the center, with a continuous cill-height string course leading to the second stage. The entrance tower on the right bay is slightly advanced, featuring a large pointed-arch entrance with a two-leaf timber panelled door, double chamfered reveals with fleuron carvings, raised nook shafts with crocketed capitals, and a low-relief carved group at the gablehead. A two-light traceried window is present at the second stage, and the tower is topped with a corbelled, embattled parapet and pinnacled bartizans.

The west elevation has a modern single-storey flat-roofed addition. The north side elevation consists of five bays with square-headed bipartite windows at the ground level, tall gallery lancets, and clasped buttresses. The advanced gabled bay of the entrance tower on the outer left features a small window at the ground level, a lancet at the second stage, and a blind quatrefoil at the gablehead. The south side elevation mirrors the north side, except for a clasped buttress that terminates in a pinnacle breaking the eaves at the left corner of the advanced gabled bay on the outer right.

The church includes square-pane leaded glass, which is painted on the east elevation. The roof is covered with grey slates and crested ridge tiles, featuring saw-tooth coping on the skews and buttresses, along with cast-iron rainwater goods. Inside, the church has a plain galleried interior.
