Description

Calderbank Parish Church, built in 1856, features a rear extension added in 1870 and a tower, transepts, vestry, session house, and remodelling completed by James Davidson in 1908. This T-plan church is designed in a simple Gothic style, constructed from snecked and random rubble sandstone with ashlar dressings and a slate roof. The exterior includes lancet windows with hoodmoulds on the tower and front gable, as well as coped skews.

The front gable has a two-stage tower that is advanced to the center, with pointed-arch doors on both the left and right returns. There are windows at the ground and upper levels of the first stage, along with diagonal buttresses. The second stage is set back and features louvred apertures on each elevation, topped with a parapet that has hexagonal angle pinnacles. Y-traceried windows flank the tower at the gable.

On the side elevations, there is a stepped three-light window on the transept and three windows on the nave. The rear elevations include various additions. The interior has not been seen.
