Graveyard, Parish Church, Kirk Yetholm

The parish church at Kirk Yetholm was built in a Gothick style between 1835 and 1837 by Robert Brown, with the interior subsequently recast around 1935. It is a rectangular building with a tower to the south, constructed of coursed whinstone with cream sandstone dressings. Features include a base course, an eaves cornice, hoodmoulded lancet windows with chamfered reveals, and polygonal buttress towers clasping angles with obelisk finials. The building has pointed-arched doorways and windows.

The tower is square, with three stages. A doorway is located on the south-east side with a modern two-leaf door and tympanum. A narrow round-arched louvre sits above the door, and a pointed-arched, traceried louvre with a clock is at the third stage. The gabled towerhead is finished with a corbelled finial on each face. A pointed-arched, traceried window is positioned at the second stage to the south-west, while a narrow, round-arched blind opening appears at the second stage to the north-west. A pointed arch louvre is present at the third stage on both the north-east and south-east sides.

The south elevation presents three bays, each containing a window. A doorway is located to the outer left with a modern two-leaf door and tympanum. The north-west elevation features three bays, each with a window. The north-east elevation has two bays defined by a gable, and two traceried, pointed-arched windows. The south-west elevation is also gabled with the tower centrally positioned (as described above). Lancet windows are present in the bays to the outer left and right, and a flat-roofed addition is set into the re-entrant angle with the tower on the outer left.

The windows have clear glass with leaded panes, and the roof is covered in grey slate with coped gables.

Inside, stained glass is present in two chancel windows and a window flanking the organ, crafted by Ballantine and Son of Edinburgh. The church has a chamber organ, a segmental arch leading to the chancel, and a gallery supported by gilded, fluted columns with foliate capitals. A decorative plaster rose is also present. Original benches and dado panelling remain and there is a carved timber lectern with traceried panels. Clocks were installed in 1993. Other interior features include a timber communion table, elders' chairs, and a bell inscribed “Johannes Burgerhuys me fecit 1643”. Datestones dating from 1610 and 1763 are set into the internal wall of the tower. A stone spiral stair with a simple iron balustrade provides access to the gallery.

The graveyard contains gravestones dating from the 17th century, along with the Boyd family mausoleum of Cherrytrees and a memorial enclosure to the Rev John Baird (who died in 1861). The entrance is marked by finialled polygonal whinstone gatepiers, iron gates with spearheads, and rubble boundary walls.
