Description
St Peter's Episcopal Chapel in Eastgate, Peebles, was designed by William Burn between 1833 and 1836, with later additions including a chancel, vestry, and porch by Hay & Henderson from 1882 to 1884, and further enlargement of the vestry in 1932. This small rectangular preaching box features a gothic front made of coursed whinstone rubble with cream sandstone ashlar dressings.
The nave is a three-bay rectangular plan with a symmetrical gabled front. It has offset buttresses that end in tall finials, dividing the bays. The central gabled porch, added in 1882, has a pointed-arch doorway with ashlar fanlight and patera, and a tall cross window above with a hood mould. Tall lancet windows are located in the outer bays, and there is a parapet at the center with a small gable and cross finial. The rear skews also have ashlar finials.
The chancel is a two-bay rectangular plan with two gabled bays on the east end, featuring a tall stepped tripartite window and small diamond-pane leaded windows. The roof is slate.
The interior was not seen in 1994, but it includes an organ by Harrison, installed in 1909, and an oak altar that was gifted in 1926.
