Corgarff Church, Corgarff

Corgarff Church, built between 1834 and 1835 by architect Mr. Daniel, is a dignified rectangular-plan church situated near Corgarff Village Hall. The church features a four-bay nave and a bellcote with a bell, offering a good galleried interior. The exterior is constructed of squared and coursed rubble, accented with contrasting pink granite long and short quoins and margins, and a granite ashlar base course. The windows are pointed arches with decorative astragals, voussoirs, and transom lights, all with chamfered reveals.

The northern and southern gabled elevations each have a central bay that includes a six-panelled, two-leaf timber door with a transom light above, and a similar triangular window, with square-headed lights on either side that are blocked. The northern gable features the bellcote. The eastern elevation has four large windows, while the western side is blind. The glazing is multi-pane and decoratively astragalled, and the roof is covered with grey slates. The coped ashlar skews have flat skewputts.

Inside, the church has a well-preserved interior with a pulpit located at the center of the eastern wall and a five-sided gallery running east to west, supported by Greek Doric columns. The seating consists of simple box pews, and the gallery is panelled with decorative cast iron oil lamp fittings. The pulpit is accompanied by flanking steps and features a five-sided ogee capped sounding board. There is also a small later pipe organ positioned in front of the pulpit.
