Description
St Andrew's Church, located on Neidpath Road in Peebles, was founded in 1195 and was burnt in 1549. The tower was extensively restored by George Henderson in 1883. The structure is built from whinstone rubble, with some sandstone dressings, while the red sandstone elements date from the 1883 restoration. The tower remains, along with a small ivy-covered section of the north wall of the north nave-aisle that contains a doorway.
The tower is three stages high and features a crowstepped gabled roof with chamfered arrises. The first stage has a round-headed roll-moulded doorway on the east side, complete with a hoodmould and a boarded door that has decorative wrought-iron hinges. Above the doorway is a plaque commemorating William Chambers, situated below a relieving arch. The remaining sides of the first stage display monuments at ground level and a tiny window above. The second stage has narrow windows on the west and east sides, with the eastern window located below a surviving raggle course from the steeply pitched nave roof. At the northeast angle, the tusking of the west wall of the north nave-aisle can still be seen. The third stage features round-headed bipartite windows with a columnar mullion and an oculus above, all set within a segmental-headed frame. The tower is topped with a corbelled and coped parapet that includes waterspouts at the corners, and the gables on the west and east sides have blind round-headed slit windows. The roof is stone-flagged with vertical bands and includes beak skewputts, along with fixed plate glass windows.
