St Mary's R.C. Church, 15 Upper Bridge Street, Stirling

St Mary's Roman Catholic Church, located at 15 Upper Bridge Street in Stirling, was designed by Peter Paul Pugin of Pugin & Pugin in 1883. This late Gothic building features red coursed rubble laid in alternating broad and narrow courses, with ashlar dressings. The church has a seven-bay nave that includes a semi-octagonal southwest baptistery and a diagonally set stair leading to the gallery at the northwest. The west front is adorned with three tall two-light windows, and the aisles are designed for six bays with three-light windows and clerestory windows that feature circled tracery. The chancel consists of two bays, with a side chancel and an aisleless canted apse. A notable detached chimney feature is located at the southwest.

Inside, the church has six-bay arcades supported by circular piers that are corbelled to octagonal shapes. The hoodmoulds of the arches die into angel corbels that carry wall shafts leading to a waggon roof, while the aisle roofs are supported on half transverse arches. The interior also boasts a large and elaborate original high altarpiece, along with altarpieces in the side chapels that are significantly above the average for Pugin & Pugin designs. There is a traceried red marble septum, an elaborate coloured marble font, and bold modern glass in the baptistery.
