Description
New Lanark Church, built by Thomas Carlaw between 1898 and 1899, is a single-storey, four-bay church designed in a simple Gothic style. It features a rectangular plan with a west gable belfry and a porch that is positioned at right angles to the main axis of the church. The building is constructed from snecked pink sandstone with polished yellow ashlar dressings, and includes a base course and eaves course. The corners are accentuated with long and short quoins. The north and south elevations have regular fenestration, showcasing roll-moulded hoodmoulds and tabbed, chamfered margins. The entrance features a two-leaf timber-boarded door leading to a gabled lobby-porch, topped with a cross finial on the east gable.
The church predominantly has square-pane leaded glazing and is finished with ashlar-coped skews that have gableted bracketed skewputts, while the porch skews have chamfered edges. The roof is covered with grey slates, and the building includes cast-iron rainwater goods.
Inside, the church has a simple late 19th-century interior, with timber-boarded panelling up to dado height. The main hall features a braced timber roof with herringbone-pattern boards between the trusses. Additional interior elements include a timber altar rail with ball finials, a commemorative plaque, and four-panelled timber doors.
The church is elevated above street level on a terrace, accessed by four steps at the gateway, which currently has no gate. The stop-chamfered gatepiers are adorned with gothic mouldings and gableted caps. Surrounding the church are random rubble boundary walls topped with chamfered coping and spear-headed wrought-iron railings.
