Description
Lecropt Kirk is a large church featuring a pinnacled tower and is faced with ashlar in a perpendicular style. The interior is of great interest, showcasing a four-centre arched and ribbed ceiling, along with a shallow sanctuary that has a plaster groin vault. At the tower end of the church is the Keir loft, which has a fine tripartite composition with groin vaults in plaster and memorials to the Stirling family. There are now stairs leading down to the body of the church; originally, only members of the Stirling family entered through the tower, while parishioners used the lateral porches. The church retains its original pulpit but has otherwise been refurnished. The Stirling vault below can be accessed through an archway in the basement of the sanctuary. The church was designed by architect William Stirling in 1826, and there are good gatepiers aligned with the church's axis.
