Description
The Church of Our Lady and St Cuthbert's, built between 1876 and 1879, is a bay Gothic church located on Dailly Road in Maybole. It features a rectangular plan and is part of a T-plan complex that includes a presbytery to the west and a school to the east. The church has a three-stage octagonal tower with a cross-finialed faceted spire positioned at the northeast corner, and the entrance is located in a gabled porch at the northwest angle.
The entrance door is recessed and has a pointed head with splayed reveals and portrait label stops beneath the hood-mould. The exterior is constructed of snecked, stugged yellow sandstone, accented with white polished ashlar dressings and quoins. The tower is adorned with single cusped lancets on alternating faces, and each stage of the tower is set back, with the top stage featuring cusped louvred openings on each face. The church body has geometric traceried windows that are all hood-moulded, with portrait label stops in the gable end and buttressed bays. An apse is situated in the south gable, and the roof is slate-covered with saw-tooth skews topped with a cross finial.
The school extends four bays to the east and has a pair of doors with pointed heads set in a triangular gabled porch, which features a figure on a foliated capital between the gables. The presbytery is asymmetrical and showcases Gothic details, consisting of two storeys over a basement with three unequal bays. It is connected to the church by a single bay at the basement level. The presbytery is made of snecked and stugged red sandstone with white ashlar dressings.
Access to the presbytery is via steps with a cast-iron handrail leading to a central pointed-headed door with a fanlight above. The left bay at ground, basement, and first floor levels has cusped bipartite windows, while the advanced, gabled right bay features similar cusped bipartites, with the ground floor window situated under a relieving arch that has a blind quatrefoil in the spandrel. The presbytery also includes gableted skewputts and decorative cast-iron finials, along with decorative ridge tiles and a slate roof.
