Parish Church, Crawford

The Parish Church, built in 1874 by James Maitland Wardrop, is a rectangular, Gothic-style former Church of Scotland building with a rounded apse, porch, and belfry. The church is constructed from snecked and bull-faced red rubble sandstone with ashlar dressings and a slate roof. Architectural details include a base course, eaves course, ashlar-coped sawtooth skew with bracketted skewputts, and lancet windows with chamfered jambs. Hoodmoulds are present on the front elevation and the west gable.

The front elevation features a six-bay gable, with a gabled porch located two bays from the right. The porch has stop-chamfered jambs, a moulded pointed arch with a hoodmould, and a two-leaf boarded timber door. The west gable has two tall lancet windows, a rose window at gallery level, and a birdcage bellcote with a weathercock finial and a pyramidal roof corbelled at the gable apex. The rear elevation includes six windows on the right and a shoulder-headed door leading to a boilerhouse on the left. The east end has a rounded apse with three windows and a semi-conical roof.

The interior, largely cleared of furnishings by 1995, features a hammerbeam roof and various rolls of honour, war memorials, and other memorials. Stained glass windows, some of which are memorials, are also present. Modern partitioning has been added to the west end, and there is a semi-circular seat with a boarded dado in the apse.

The church, formerly an ecclesiastical building, closed in 1994 and is no longer in use. It is located on Carlisle Road, Crawford. The building was noted in the Pictorial Guide to Upper Clydesdale in 1907.
