Dinnet Parish Church, Dinnet

Dinnet Parish Church is a small, rectangular Gothic church built in 1875. A vestry and porch were probably added in 1890, and alterations occurred in 2003. Boundary walls and gatepiers were added in 1899. The church is constructed of squared and snecked granite with ashlar dressings, featuring deep base and eaves courses. It has a three-bay nave, a bellcote, and partially crowstepped gables. The architectural style includes shoulder-arched doors, lancet windows, single and two-stage sawtooth-coped buttresses, and hoodmoulds.

The east elevation is symmetrical, with a central triple lancet window above a gabled porch which has a small window, angle buttresses, a two-leaf timber door with decorative ironwork hinges, and single lancets in the flanking bays. Angle buttresses are located beyond the lancets, and the buttress to the left is inscribed 'PARISH 1881'. A bellcote pierces the eaves to the left, and a stone Celtic cross finial is at the gablehead. The south elevation shows bays to the right with a buttress that flan.ks a hand pump and paired lancets, below diminutive, louvered triangular roof ventilators. An advanced gable of a lower vestry is to the left, with two single windows and, on the right return, a door and a roof ventilator. The west elevation has been altered, retaining outer lancets, a rose window, a small cruciform opening in the gablehead, and an ironwork finial. The north elevation has paired lancets flanking a buttress, two roof ventilators, and a porch with a single lancet and a door in the return to the left.

The windows are mostly diamond-pattern leaded glass, except those on the north side. The roof is covered with grey slates and diamond-pattern leading, with red fishscale-pattern bands. Ashlar-coped stepped skews with moulded skewputts are present at the base of the crowsteps.

The church interior retains a fine hammerbeam roof.

The boundary walls are granite-coped and filled with river pebbles. They are accompanied by coped, square-section ashlar gatepiers, one of which bears the monogram "CWB" and the date "1900".
