Description
Stonelaw Parish Church, built between 1910 and 1912 by John Bennie Wilson, is a Gothic church located on a corner site in Glasgow. It features a heavy-buttressed and symmetrical design with an unusual canted end facing Stonelaw Road. The entrance includes a vestibule with two large doorways that are deeply recessed and have arched heads, along with perpendicular traceried windows. The church is constructed of bull-faced red ashlar with polished dressings. The northern side facing Dryburgh Avenue has gabled outer transepts and a tall linking side aisle, while the southern side is built above a steep slope and includes a full basement storey. The roof is slated and finialed, with a facetted design at the west end. There is also a church officer's house at the southeast corner. The church features 3-light windows made by William Meikle and Sons. It is enclosed by wrought-iron railings that curve at the corner, with gatepiers and identical intermediate piers that have gabletted tops with cusped-panelled fronts.
