Stonehouse Church, Vicars Road, Stonehouse

Stonehouse Church, built in 1896 by Alexander Cullen, is a cruciform-plan church designed in a Gothic style. It features a tower and aisles with pentice roofs. The church is constructed from stugged and snecked cream sandstone rubble, accented with ashlar dressings, and topped with a slate roof that has terracotta ridge tiles. Architectural details include a base course, chamfered eaves course, and ashlar-coped skews with block skewputts. The nave is buttressed above the aisles, and the front gable is also buttressed. The four-stage tower has buttressed angles, which are treated as a newel stair tower at the front right. It includes a stringcourse between stages, trefoil-headed or pointed-arch windows with hoodmoulds, Y-traceried pointed-arch belfry openings with louvres and hoodmoulds, and a crenellated parapet.

The front elevation features a gable to the left, with a pair of 2-leaf boarded doors at the center that have splayed reveals and a moulded pointed arch. There are paired windows to the left and right, also with moulded pointed arches, all linked by a continuous hoodmould. Above, a large stepped three-light gallery window is present, with trefoil-headed blind arcading at the apex and a Celtic-cross finial. A window to the aisle is located at the left, with the tower on the right.

On the left return elevation, the gable is advanced to the left, featuring two 2-light pointed-arch windows and a vesica above. The five-bay nave to the right has four sets of paired square-headed windows to the aisle and four Y-traceried pointed windows above, with the bay to the far right being blank. The chancel is set back at the far left, with a hall building beyond.

The right return elevation includes the tower on the left with a door at the ground floor, and a three-bay nave to the right, with the gable at the far right treated as a left return elevation. There are later additions to the outer right.

The boundary walls are made of round-coped masonry, with iron gatepiers and adjoining railings. Inside, the church has plastered walls, ashlar columns and dressings, and a boarded waggon roof.
