Hamilton North Church, Windmill Road, Hamilton

Hamilton North Church, located on Windmill Road in Hamilton, was originally built in 1839 and had an addition made by Cullen, Lochhead and Brown in 1910.

The original building features stugged coursed sandstone rubble and a slate roof, with a base course and wallhead course. It has three tall depressed-arch, margined windows with lattice glazing on the side elevations, and similar paired windows on the rear elevation, topped with an oculus above in the raised wallhead.

The addition on the front elevation is constructed from red stugged and snecked sandstone rubble, with some polished dressings and a slate roof. This section has five bays, with the central bay slightly advanced and the outer bays splayed. It includes a base course, a continuous hoodmould course at the first floor, and a corniced and coped wallhead featuring a broken pedimentally-treated gable and flanking parapets. The windows are moulded, with leaded glazing on the ground floor. The central entrance consists of a two-leaf panelled door set within a round-headed moulded doorcase and fanlight, with a hoodmould above. There is a three-light round-headed window in a recessed panel above the door, as well as round-headed windows in recessed panels to the left and right. The splayed outer bays also feature windows in round-headed panels. To the left return, there is a canted stair bay with a door and windows, while the right return has a door and paired windows, along with an oculus above with a broken pedimented gable.

The interior was not seen during the assessment. The church is also accompanied by gatepiers, a boundary wall, and railings, which include two chamfered ashlar gatepiers with dentilled caps at the front elevation, a stugged squared rubble wall along the front and sides, and cast- and wrought-iron railings.
