St Colman's Episcopal Church, Burravoe, Yell

St Colman's Episcopal Church, located in Burravoe, Yell, was built between 1898 and 1900 by R T N Speir of Culdees. This symmetrical, plain Gothic church comprises a three-bay nave, a lean-to entrance porch on the south gable, a vestry attached to the west elevation, and an apse at the north end. The walls are constructed of harl-pointed and lined granite rubble with stugged and droved sandstone ashlar dressings and details. Chamfered arrises and sloping cills define the windows.

The south gable, which serves as the main entrance, is a single-story, three-bay lean-to porch with evenly spaced pointed-arched windows on the south wall, framed by buttresses. A vertically-boarded timber entrance door is located in the east wall, and a stepped three-light lancet window sits in the gablehead above the porch. The east elevation features a three-bay nave with buttresses dividing the bays and mullioned windows—three-light to the center and left bay, and four-light to the right bay. An entrance porch and the apse are recessed on the left and right respectively.

The north elevation has the apse projecting at the center, framed by small, paired, pointed-arched windows. The west elevation mirrors the east, with a three-bay nave, buttressed bays with mullioned windows (three-light to the center and right bay), and a lean-to vestry projecting from the left bay. The vestry has a three-light mullioned window in its west wall and a vertically-boarded timber door in its south wall. The entrance porch and apse are recessed to the left and right.

The windows feature leaded glazing with coloured glass. A ships bell, marked DILIGENT 1898, is fixed to the right of the entrance door. The roof is covered in grey slate with overhanging timber eaves, which curve and rise at the apse; a timber ventilator is situated at the ridge with a battered slate-hung plinth, timber structure, bracketted eaves, and a tall, bell-cast pyramidal roof topped with a cast-iron finial. Decorative cast-iron finials terminate the principal ridge. A stugged and droved sandstone ashlar stack is located on the vestry roof, featuring a shouldered shaft and deep cope.

Inside, the entrance porch is lined with vertically-boarded timber, and double doors lead to the nave. The nave and apse are wainscoted in vertically-boarded timber, with herring-bone patterned panels on the stop-chamfered doors. There are timber choir stalls and pews. The nave features a braced kingpost open timber roof supported by decorative, canted stone brackets. The sanctuary floor is stone flagged and contains a folding Gothic timber chair by Morris & Co and a timber altar with a painted front depicting the Worship of Heaven.
