Description
St Serf's Church in Comrie is a church built in 1884, with an encasing added in 1958. It was designed by R T N Speir, with further enlargement by architect Mr Ewing of Muthill in 1888, which included an additional hall. The church has a simple cruciform plan and features an aisless design, a gabled porch, transepts, and a vestry. It is topped with a small slated fleche and has a steeply-pitched roof. The exterior is made of harled brick with stone or concrete cills, and it includes some pointed-arch windows with timber tracery and timber mullions.
On the southeast elevation, there are three recessed bays in the center, featuring a four-light window to the right and two bipartite windows to the left, all of which are set against the eaves. At the center of the roof ridge is a cross-finialled leaded fleche. To the left, there is a gabled porch with a broad two-leaf boarded timber door under a hoodmould. The right side has a gabled transept with a deep-set raised-center tripartite window and a small colored glass bipartite window on the return.
The northeast elevation has a lower gabled chancel projecting at the center, which contains a five-light traceried window and a single window on the return to the left. To the right is a further bay for the vestry, which includes a door and a window beyond.
The northwest elevation features a variety of elements, largely mirroring the southeast but also including a later gabled hall projecting at the outer right. The southwest elevation has a replacement pointed-arch window in a gabled bay off-center to the right, along with another window to the left.
The church has largely leaded multi-pane glazing patterns in its casement windows, with some stained glass present. The roof is covered with grey slates and features plain bargeboarding.
Inside, the church has moulded cornices and a fine open timbered roof. There is a figurative stained glass memorial window in the northeast and two colored glass lights inserted into a replacement window at the southwest, along with figurative stained glass in the side chapel. A polygonal stone font with a single relief-carved panel is also present.
The church is accessed through decorative cross-finialled ironwork gates.
