Former St John's Church, School Wynd, Paisley

The former St John's Church in School Wynd, Paisley, was designed by the architects James Salmon and Son and built between 1862 and 1863. It features a rectangular plan with a semi-octagonal apse and is constructed from snecked rubble with ashlar dressings. The gabled front is notable for its bold inner buttresses, which are topped by octagonal turrets adorned with pierced ornament and spirelets, along with angle buttresses capped by pyramidal pinnacles.

The central entrance consists of a three-order pointed arch, flanked by two arches with nook shafts and stiff-leaf capitals. Above the entrance is a five-light window with plate tracery, while the aisles feature lancet windows also with plate tracery. The six-bay sides are divided by buttresses, with lancets at the front of the bays closest to the entrance, a door on the left side, and a two-light window with a quatrefoil in the remaining five bays. The parapet is pierced by quatrefoils, and the end buttresses are pinnacled.

The taller apse has lancet windows on all three facets and a pierced parapet. The slate roof is designed with bands in a fish-scale pattern. Inside, the church has galleries on three sides supported by colonettes at ground level, an organ located in the apse, and a hammerbeam roof.
