Chambers Parish Church, East Academy Street, Wishaw

Chambers Parish Church was built in 1874 to a Gothic design by Alexander Hinshelwood. It is a rectangular-plan church with a square, three-stage belltower topped with a stone spire, located on the northeast corner. The exterior is constructed from squared yellow sandstone with ashlar margins. The walls feature set-back, gabletted buttresses with sawtooth coping, and hooded, pointed-arch windows with chamfered reveals.

The main, southeast elevation centres on a pointed-arch, timber-panelled entrance, with an arch above decorated with carved details, a label-stopped hood mould, and a double-chamfered reveal resting on red sandstone columns with stiff-leaf capitals. Flanking the entrance are small, cusped lancet windows. Above this is a large, tripartite window with geometric tracery and stone mullions, culminating in a multifoil shape at the apex. A chevron corbel table runs along the eaves. The belltower is three-stage, featuring a plaque with a continuous hoodmould on the first stage, an elongated second stage, and a battered wall. The octagonal spire has a splayed base, gabled lucarnes to the belfry, and is banded with lozenge moulding, topped with a stone cap and a cast-iron decorative finial.

The northwest rear elevation is of squared and snecked rubble, with two tall lancet windows at ground level and an oculus in the gablehead. The southwest side elevation has five bays, regularly punctuated by tall lancet windows, a continuous cill course, and hoodmoulds. Notably, the outer bay to the right includes a short lancet window above a square door. A Lombard frieze runs along the eaves course. The northeast side elevation mirrors the southwest, with the belltower located to the outer bay to the left.

The windows are fitted with leaded glass, with border glazing, and stained glass is present in the chancel. The roof is covered with alternating bands of grey rectangular and fishscale slates, with lead flashing, three lead vents, coped stone skews and gablet skewputts, and a coped stack to the rear gable.

The interior is galleried, featuring a narthex with flanking stairs leading to the gallery. There is a boarded dado, timber pews, and cast-iron columns that support a panelled gallery. A communion table is situated in front of an ornately carved timber pulpit, accessible by stairs. A timber, gothic-panelled organ and case is placed behind the pulpit.

A church hall was added in 1903, designed by Malcolm Ross. It is an L-shaped addition abutting the church in the southwest corner, featuring an advanced gabled wing on the left with a stepped, rectangular tripartite window with stone mullions, a transom, and an inscribed panel to the gablehead ("CUFC HALL"). A smaller wing connects to the original church on the right, featuring two dormers with shouldered pediments and cast-iron finials, although the ground floor is obscured by a more recent addition. The rear of the hall is also partly hidden by modern additions. The hall is roofed with grey slates and coped skews.

A small sandstone boundary wall with saddleback coping and modern railings surrounds the site.
