Wellwynd Church, Wellwynd, Airdrie

Wellwynd Church, built in 1847, is a plain gabled Gothic church with a symmetrical, rectangular plan and three bays. The exterior features yellow ashlar sandstone with squared and snecked stone on the sides and rear. It has a base course and lancet windows with chamfered reveals.

On the south elevation, the central bay is flanked by stepped clasped buttresses that end in pinnacles, which break the eaves. The entrance is a pointed arch with a roll-moulded, chamfered reveal, and there is a string course above it. A stone mullioned tripartite window is positioned above the entrance, with a triangular panel at the gable head and a quatrefoil balustrade. Tall lancet windows flank the entrance, and diagonal buttresses support the outer bays.

The north elevation features a small arrow slit at the gable head and a two-storey, three-bay lean-to addition that is harled. The east elevation has four bays with tall lancets, except for a small window in the outer right bay. The west elevation mirrors the east.

The church has modern geometrically patterned coloured glass, grey slate roofing with lead flashing, and cast-iron rainwater goods.

Inside, there is a dentil-moulded plasterwork cornice and a timber panelled gallery supported by cast-iron columns with foliate capitals and scrollwork soffits. The organ recess is segmentally arched with chamfered returns and foliate corbels that support the arch springing.
