Quarff Parish Church, Easter Quarff

Quarff Parish Church, located in Easter Quarff, was designed by John Davidson and Thomas Macfarlane and built between 1828 and 1829. This church features a four-bay T-plan in a symmetrical Parliamentary style, set on a site that slopes to the east. The walls are harled, with stugged and droved sandstone ashlar margins, and there is an eaves course. The church has four-centred arched windows with modern timber tracery and glazing, along with projecting, sloping cills.

The principal elevation is symmetrical, with windows on either side of the center. There are two-leaf vertically boarded timber doors set in three-centred arched openings located in the outer left and right bays. On the south elevation, there is a neo-classical concrete war memorial to the right at ground level, and a single pointed-arched window that rises into the gablehead, topped by a stugged sandstone bellcote on a square plinth. The rear elevation features a rear wing with a blank gable that is advanced at the center. To the left, there is an enclosure from around 1910, consisting of decorative gothic cast iron railing on a concrete dwarf wall. The north elevation has a window that rises into the gablehead, surmounted by a stone cross. The church is topped with a modern slate roof that has sandstone ashlar skew copes.

Inside, there are flagged entrance porches on the north and south sides. The church has six-panel doors that lead to vestibules behind vertically boarded timber screens with trefoil cresting. Pointed arched vertically boarded timber doors provide access to the hall, which features timber fittings including horizontally boarded wainscoting, pews, and a pew-lined enclosure around a panelled semi-octagonal pulpit that is centered on the east wall and has a pilastered back rising to an octagonal corniced canopy. Above, there is a roll-moulded cornice with a coved plain plaster ceiling.

The kirkyard is enclosed by a rubble wall and features stugged sandstone square gatepiers with modern timber gates located to the east and west of the south wall.
