Description

The former Arnsheen Church in Barrhill, designed by Robert Samson Ingram in 1887, is a Scottish Baronial building with a cruciform shape and crow-stepped gables. It features a four-stage clock tower at the southeast corner and is located on a small rise at the northwest entrance to the village. The church is constructed from coursed whinstone with contrasting sandstone ashlar margins and includes a base course. The windows are mostly bi-partite with round-arched openings, and there is a gabled single-storey vestry at the rear.

The entrance elevation faces southwest and is asymmetrical. It has a central gabled entrance porch with a moulded round-arched doorpiece and a two-leaf slatted timber entrance door. To the right, the tower has an asymmetrical castellated parapet, a band course, and a chevroned moulding along the cornice, with a louvred opening at the third stage. The corners of the canted fourth stage feature incised crosses.

At the rear, there is a recessed gabled entrance hall that lies perpendicular to the entrance porch, leading to a taller gabled section with a decorative rose window.

Inside, as observed in 2010, most furnishings have been removed, revealing an open-timber ceiling, a decorative timber pulpit, and an organ case. Some panelled timber round-arched doors remain, along with a turnpike stair leading to the tower. The windows predominantly feature small leaded coloured glass panes. The roof is covered with purple graded slates and red ridge tiles, and the cast-iron rainwater goods include decorative hoppers.
