Description

Cromdale Parish Church is a plain rectangular church built in 1809, with a long front elevation facing east. It was recast and altered in the late 19th century. The church is constructed of rubble with tooled rubble dressings. The main elevation features six bays, including a round-headed entrance in the southeast bay, which was formerly mirrored by a similar entrance in the northeast bay. There are four round-headed windows, along with three late 19th century round-headed windows on the main elevation and three more on the rear west elevation. A gallery window is located in the south gable. All windows have late 19th century cusped and geometric tracery, along with leaded glazing. At the apex of the south gable, there is a birdcage bellcote topped with a ball finial at the north. The roof is made of local slate.

To the north gable, there is a small Minister's room with its own entrance. The interior of the church is plain and was recast to the north in the late 19th century. It features a lowered pine plank ceiling with stencil decoration, a south gallery with round-headed detailing on the panelled front, a pine plank dado, and pine pews.

The burial ground is a rectangular area enclosed by rubble walls, with entrances to the south (leading to the road) and west (leading to the river). These entrances are flanked by plain square tooled granite gate piers topped with simple pyramidal caps. The burial ground contains 18th and 19th century tombstones, many made of local slate. Additionally, there is a simple square rubble watch-house with a gable entrance, an end stack, and a local slate roof.
