Sherwood Parish Church, Glasgow Road, Paisley

Sherwood Parish Church, located on Glasgow Road in Paisley, was designed by architect James Donald and built between 1891 and 1892. The church features a large hall designed by architect Hamilton Neil in 1925, with the spire completed in 1927. It is constructed in a free Perpendicular Gothic style, with a rectangular plan that includes rear halls and a projecting stair bay, along with a spire on the south front.

The exterior is made of snecked rubble with ashlar dressings. The front has a gabled pointed arch with an 8-light window. To the right, there is a narrow link to a four-stage tower that has a slender spire, which is buttressed on the lower three stages. The base of the tower features a pointed arch door, a two-light window on the second stage, two lancets and arcaded corbelling on the third stage, and open tall paired lancets with cusps and quatrefoils on the fourth stage, which has octagonal angle piers that are now without pinnacles. The gables include a clock face, although the one on the south side is now partly dismantled. The octagonal spire is currently without a finial.

At the west side, there is a stair bay with a pointed arch door and a squat facetted tower topped with a low broached slated spire. The side elevations consist of four bays, with three bays featuring cusp-headed windows—two-light windows at the ground level and three-light windows above. The fourth bay is raised through the wallhead and gabled, with a gabletted lancet at the ground level and a plate tracery window above that has two lights and an oculus. The church has a slate roof.

To the rear, there are two-storey halls with flat-headed two-light windows at the ground level and trefoiled two-light windows on the first floor. Attached to the small structure on the northeast is a two-storey facetted porch. Inside, the church features galleries on the sides and rear, supported by cast-iron colonnettes—Corinthian on the ground floor and Composite on the first floor. The roof has an arched brace collar beam design. Stained glass by Stephen Adam from 1920 can be found in the south window and in three lancets on the north side.
