Church Hall, St John's Episcopal Church, Bleachfield Road, Selkirk

St John's Episcopal Church was built in the late 19th century, between 1867 and 1869, by J M Wardrop, with later alterations and a church hall added in the late 19th or early 20th century. The church hall is located to the northeast of the main building. The church itself is constructed of whinstone with red sandstone dressings, and is a hall church layout comprising a nave, choir, vestry, and bellcote.

The church's architecture is notable for its whinstone construction and red stugged sandstone dressings, featuring point-arched openings and a base course. The southwest elevation is gabled and features a large, geometric-traceried window with a hoodmould. An angle buttress sits to the left, while on the right is a cruciform-plan buttressed bell tower rising to an open octagonal bellcote and ashlar spire.

The southeast elevation is six bays, grouped as four bays and two bays. A bell tower sits to the outer left. Plate-traceried windows are present in each bay of the four-bay group, except for the bay to the inner left. A single-story gabled porch is located in the inner left bay, featuring a hoodmoulded entrance and an ornamental trefoil plaque above the gable. There are two-leaf cast-iron gates and leaded windows to each return elevation. A buttress is situated to the outer right of the four-bay group. The two-bay group to the right is slightly set back, with hoodmoulded windows in each bay, and a four-centred arch in the bay to the right. Another buttress is located to the outer right.

The northeast elevation is gabled, with a vestry set back to the outer right. It features a tripartite plate-traceried window and a four-centred arched boarded door to the left of the vestry. The windows have leaded lights, and some incorporate stained glass by Herbert Hendrie, dated 1933, and others by a German designer. The church is covered by a steep slated roof, topped with an ashlar coped stack to the vestry, saw-toothed ashlar skews, and cross finials. A cast-iron gate is present at the porch entrance.

Inside, the church features fine carvings on the reredos, altar, and choir screen, created by Robert Lorimer between 1908 and 1912. There is an oak, gothic altar fence, a panelled dado, an octagonal ashlar font, encaustic tiles in the choir, ashlar corbels supporting the roof struts, an oak carved, Tudor scroll-panelled pulpit, and fine carving on the external side of the door to the porch. A mid-20th century organ, dedicated to the memory of James Douglas and Douglas Rhodes, is also present.

Boundary walls are constructed of whinstone rubble with rubble coping. The church hall is a single-story, four-bay, L-plan building, with corrugated-iron walls and roof. It features timber ogeed heads and hoodmoulds over each opening, a window in each bay of the principal north elevation (except for the outer left bay), a flush door, a lean-to porch and boarded door set back to the outer right, an octagonal window to the west gablehead, and a vent to the ridge. The church hall's interior was uninspected in 1996.
