Description
Low Church, located on New Street in Paisley, was designed by master masons James Baird and John Hart and built between 1736 and 1738. The church underwent external alterations and internal refurnishing in 1873. It features a simple T-plan layout and is constructed of rubble with ashlar dressings. The gables and gablets are all crowstepped.
The symmetrical south elevation has three bays and includes a gabled projecting porch. The porch contains a pointed-arched door with a blind oculus above, flanked by one lancet window on each side wall, both raised through the eaves and gabletted. Additionally, the porch is accompanied by an inner Y-traceried window and an outer lancet, all similarly raised and gabletted.
The east and west elevations are gabled and feature large windows with intersecting tracery. The west elevation includes a door and two square-headed windows, while the east elevation has been blocked. The north elevation showcases a large projecting gabled wing. The interior of the church has been entirely modernised.
