Earlston Parish Church, Church Street, Earlston

Earlston Parish Church, designed by Hardy & Wight and completed in 1891, is a Gothic revival church with a roughly rectangular plan. It features a three-bay entrance gable, which is flanked by a four-stage tower on the left and a two-storey stair tower on the right. The side elevations have three adjoining forward-facing gables, and there is a single-storey vestry extending from the northeast corner. The church is constructed of coursed, bull-faced red sandstone with polished ashlar dressings and has a deep base course on the entrance elevation. The windows are predominantly stone-mullioned, featuring three lights and pointed arches, with the upper storey windows having cusped heads and hood moulds. The side gables are divided by shouldered buttresses.

The entrance gable has a two-leaf timber-boarded door set within a gabled chamfered architrave, flanked by short shouldered buttresses, with bipartite windows in the outer bays and a traceried tripartite window above. The four-stage tower to the left has a timber-boarded door, a deep balustraded parapet, and a weather vane. The stair tower on the right also has a timber-boarded door. The church has small pane glazing in fixed light windows and a Welsh slate roof adorned with crested terracotta ridge tiles, along with ashlar-coped skews and cast-iron rainwater goods.

Inside, the church features a trussed timber roof supported by slender iron columns. There are galleries on the south, east, and west sides, which have Gothic fretwork on the front panels and are carried on square iron pillars. The dado-height timber-boarded panelling is decorated with fretwork and extends to gallery level behind the pulpit. A communion table from 1920 is also present.

The church grounds include a well-crafted ironwork gate at the south entrance, leading up a slope to the church. The graveyard is enclosed by random rubble walls and contains gravestones that date from the 17th to the 20th centuries, including Rhymer's stone, which is set into the southeast corner of the church's exterior wall.
