Description

Kirkmuirhill Parish Church is an Early English Gothic church of rectangular plan, dated 1868, designed by Robert Baldie. A church hall was added around 1899. The church is constructed with chamfered surrounds to windows and doors, and features a base and eaves course. The north-west and south-west elevations are rendered, while the south-east and north-east sides are built with tooled stone.

The north-west (principal) elevation features a central pointed-arch door with roll-mouldings. Flanking this are small lancet windows, all sharing a continuous hoodmould. Above, a larger tripartite lancet window is similarly hooded, with full-length offset buttresses on either side. To the right is a single lancet window, also with a hoodmould terminating in floral stops, and a buttress at the far right. A square tower is set to the left, with offset angle buttresses and a bipartite window on the first stage. Above this is a tall bipartite lancet window, and lucarnes are incorporated into each face of the broach spire.

The north-east elevation showcases a tall bipartite lancet window on the tower's second stage, with angle buttresses. Five tall lancet windows are regularly spaced to the left of the tower, each with a buttress to its left. The south-east elevation is partially obscured by the church hall. Two lancet stained glass windows are visible.

The south-west elevation presents a bipartite lancet window to the left, surmounted by a Y-tracery window beneath a hoodmould, and flanked by buttresses. Five tall lancet windows are arranged to the right, with a buttress alongside each.

The windows are fitted with lattice glazing, and the entrance is a timber boarded two-leaf door with decorative metal hinges. The building has a pitched slate roof with kneelers, and Celtic cross finials adorn the north-west and south-east gable apexes. The spire is of stone, finished with a ball and spike finial.

Inside, the vestibule contains a memorial to the First and Second World Wars, along with a pilastered and corniced timber panel displaying a bronze plaque. The plaque lists the names of congregation or district members who died during the wars. A pointed-arch door leads into the main church, featuring a central block of pews and single blocks along the side walls. Wainscoting is present. A gallery occupies the north-west side, supported by metal columns and featuring timber panelled balcony frontage and a brass rail. A platform is located on the south-east, with an organ on the back wall, along with a timber communion table, lectern, and font. Two stained glass windows flank the organ, and further stained glass is positioned centrally on the north-east and south-west walls.

Plain metal railings enclose the church and grounds to the south-west and north. The single-storey, rectangular-plan church hall, dated circa 1900, aligns along a south-east to north-west axis and is situated to the rear (south-east) of the church. It features two windows on the north-east elevation and two pointed-arch windows on the south-west elevation, with a pitched slate roof and kneelers. A smaller pitched vestry is located to the north-west, with a door and window on its gable elevations. A larger, more modern church hall from the 1960s is situated at the rear of the earlier hall.
