Description
Dated 1876, Cadzow Parish Church is a Gothic-style church constructed on a cross plan. It features organ chambers and pyramidal-roofed entrance towers at re-entrant angles. The church is built of stugged and snecked cream sandstone rubble, with random rubble to the north and east gables. The roof is covered with green slate and decorative terracotta ridge tiles. Architectural features include a base course, a chamfered wallhead course, pointed trefoil windows, 3-light windows with a rose window to the head of the principal gables, coped skews with gabletted skewputts, angle buttresses, plain cast-iron rainwater goods, and a pyramidal-roofed ridge belfry.
The south elevation showcases a transept gable advanced to the centre left, with a five-multiple-moulded trefoil-headed window to the ground floor, a hoodmould, colonette mullions, and stiff-leaf capitals. There is a window to the gallery level. A two-stage entrance tower is recessed to the right, featuring a multiple-moulded pointed-arch doorcase within a pedimented panel, nook shafts with stiff-leaf capitals, mask label stops, and a round sculpted tympanum panel. A bipartite and single window is present to the right return, with a slightly recessed bay to the left, and a recessed nave bay to the right. The organ chamber bay is also recessed, featuring a moulded pointed-arch doorcase with a sculpted tympanum, flanked by pointed trefoil-headed windows with a continuous hoodmould. The left return gable has two blocked windows, a date panel, and an oculus above. The east gable is similarly detailed as the south transept gable.
The north elevation features an entrance tower to the left re-entrant angle, with a pointed-arch door, a sculpted tympanum, single and paired windows, and a five-light horizontal window to the wallhead. A transept gable is advanced to the right, with five trefoil-headed windows to the ground floor and a gallery window above. A recessed nave section has three windows.
The interior includes galleries to the transepts and rear. It has a rib vaulted ceiling supported by clustered vaulting shafts with stiff-leaf corbel and capitals. The church contains a two-manual and pedal organ with a panelled organ case flanked by World War I memorial plaques, a hexagonal timber pulpit, pine pews, and various stained glass windows.
Exterior features include two sets of gabletted, monolithic gatepiers with pointed arch panels to Woodside Street with later wrought-iron gates, low boundary walls with wrought-iron railings.
