Description

St Andrews Episcopal Church, designed by C E Howse in 1904, is a single-storey, six-bay church built in a simple rectangular plan in the Arts and Crafts style. It features a small pitched-roof meeting hall addition from the late 20th century on the northwest side. The exterior is harled with red sandstone window margins and quoins. The entrance doorway is a pointed arch with a hoodmould and scrolled label stops, complemented by pointed arch windows. The roof has a bell-cast gable design.

The church includes diamond-pane leaded glazing and a two-leaf painted, boarded entrance door. The roof is covered with graded grey slates, has timber-bracketed overhanging eaves, and clay ridge tiles, along with cast-iron rainwater goods.

Inside, the church showcases a good Arts and Crafts decorative scheme. The ceiling is round arched and supported by four curved timber trusses on delicate red sandstone corbels. A simple decorative rood screen separates the nave from the timber-panelled sanctuary. The interior furnishings include timber pews, a pulpit, an altar, and Arts and Crafts style chairs. A mural memorial on the east gable, dedicated to J.G Ferguson and created by William Blacklock of the Edinburgh School of Art in 1905, depicts the Virgin and Child and the 'Adoration of the Magi'. The stained glass features a single light over the altar donated by Isabella Ballantyne, with single lights on either side of the chancel dedicated to Robert Milne Ballantyne, signed by J S Hamilton in 1920. There are also triple wrought iron pendant lights. The internal entrance lobby leads to a symmetrical vestry and a later session room addition.
