Description
This is a burial ground associated with Laggan Parish Church, built in 1785 and partially rebuilt and likely raised in 1842. The church itself is a tall, rectangular structure constructed from grey granite rubble with tooled granite ashlar dressings. Entrances are located in the outer bays of the long north elevation, with a shallow, gabled porch that has a round-headed doorway masking the northwest entrance.
The south elevation features three long, round-headed windows. The east gable has a slightly advanced central bay with a pair of similarly headed windows (added in 1842) and an oculus above. The west gable is also advanced in the centre, featuring a pair of round-headed lancets, and similar fenestration in the outer bays. Both gable heads rise above saw-toothed skews, with a bellcote at the west end and a finial on the east. The windows contain lattice pane glazing, with coloured decoration in the east windows, all beneath a slate roof.
The entrance lobby is floored with local pottery tiles, dating from approximately 1982. The interior was recast in 1842 and features galleries supported on wooden cluster columns that rise to the ceiling and terminate in crude scalloped capitals. A hexagonal pulpit is situated between the east gable windows, above a semi-circular clerk's desk with a narrow backboard and hexagonal sounding-board. Stairways serve the clerk’s desk and pulpit on both sides.
The associated burial ground is enclosed by a rubble wall with a shaped, tooled rubble cope. A pair of square, tooled rubble gate piers with ball finials on attenuated stems support a pair of cast-iron spearhead carriage gates. The building remains in use as an ecclesiastical building.
