Description
Freeland Church in Bridge of Weir is a simple rectangular-plan church that was begun in 1826, with a front hall added in 1857 as a gift from G. S. Freeland. The interior was extensively altered in 1912, during which a porch, gallery stair, and choir were added, and the windows were lengthened and given round-arched heads. Additional halls were later built at the rear of the choir. The church is constructed of rubble with tooled ashlar dressings and angle margins, topped with slate roofs. The original church features a steep pyramidal roof with a ventilator. A lower hall was added to the southwest, which has a shallow projection facing the road and is crowned with a birdcage bellcote. The ground level features a round-arched window that is repeated on the side elevations. The porch has a round-arched door located at the southeast re-entrant angle, with an apsidal gallery stair projection. Inside, the church has a plain interior with a gallery on the southeast wall, and there are two memorial windows from 1931 and 1938.
